From the perspective of being a catcher~
Cannot count how many times somebody like a coach or a parent would ask
When the umpire called a pitch a ball...
Those would ask
'was that a strike Turbo'?
... Well I could give my interpretation on if I think it was a strike or not.
(Of which might be good for the pitcher to recognize it was a good pitch location.)
But the reality is the Umpire called it a ball.
That's what we should be understanding in the moment.
The Umpires interpretation of what they believe the area of the strike zone is.
it is recognizing how that individual umpire is going to interpret the rulebook for that game.
* That is what matters!
* because you don't have the same umpire every game. Have different umpires with different interpretations.
For the games when you do have the same umpire hopefully they will be consistent but there's also the chance they won't.
