Strike zone

[Txwalt]

So the strike zone is from the sternum to the knees. Arm pit to the knees? Ok, whatever. Is that when the batter is in the crouched stance? Or, when she is standing tall?

Thanks,

Normal batting stance.

Okay comp, I do have to ask what is a normal stance? I ask be cause my dd's stance is like Albert Pujols.

Then that is your daughters normal batting stance and strike zone.

Just to clarify, the rule book says "natural" batting stance.

Strike zone = whatever the ump see's at that moment. Nothing else applies....... (just being real)

This question should only be answered by the pitcher/catcher after the first two batters or so.

The variance I've seen this year so far has been ridiculous. One guy last week (had him for two games) was calling strikes at the batters shoulders. Then in the same tournament another guy didn't call much above the belt area... I understand their human and a strike zone is a judgement call, but the differences in some of them are too much for most of these kids to adjust to... just venting and wishing for some consistency across the board.

Did Pete Rose have a smaller strike zone because of his 'crouched' stance?

Very few call.above the belt.
