Eldest dd pitches. The pitch that misses over the plate could end up being more detrimental than one errant pitch. Solo HR vs. HBP rather throw it in the dirt away to waste one. Catcher has to do their job. Part of the game.Is there a concensus about this? Obviously anything uncatchable -- over the head, wide on either side, pitch hits the bull -- are wild pitches. But what about the pitch that hits the plate, or the ground at the catcher's mitt? What's the assumption about a pitch outside of the strike zone that's the difference between wild and passed?
