FYI Blue, the strike zone is described in the rule book

Ken,

Thanks so much for this article. I couldn't agree more. Having a DD that's a finesse girl and not a power girl I can really relate.

Glad you found it useful. Pitchers spend the entire off-season learning to make the ball move. But if umpires are going to insist on calling shoebox size strike zones, or worse yet calling pitches based on where the catcher catches the ball rather than where it actually crosses the plate, it seems rather pointless. You're either going to have to chuck it down the middle and get hammered, or suffer a walkfest. Neither of which is good for the game in my opinion.
