But all umpires zones will vary.
So choose your time to kneel in protest carefully......the strike zone is the area above the plate, knees to middle chest...
technically, the strike zone is the area above the plate, knees to middle chest (up for individual umps preferences). Therefore, a strike cannot hit the plate. However, the batter may have been way up in the box which doesn't actually change the zone but may influence the umps call. Either way, called strike is called strike. Can't protest judgements!
Easy man! The umpire just made a mistake, that’s it, let’s move on.Umpiring 101, a pitched ball that hits the plate cannot be a called strike.
