Its a strike when....
The Umpire Calls it a strike!
( yes, and when swing and miss and foul balls)

From a catchers perspective to you....

There is not really a strikezone.
There is an 'area' called a strikezone.
There is the opinion of the area umpires think is a strikezone.

Then there is catchers framing the area called a strikezone.

*Here's the important part....
The plate is just a point of refference.
Not the strikezone!

*Strikes have been called with the softball 2 softballs away from what batters think is the strikezone.

*Have framed these strikes many times and watched batters walk away saying
"That wasnt a strike"

Its a strike when....
THE UMPIRE CALLS IT A STRIKE!
Hitters HIT

ENJOY
