My goal is to miss less than 1 clear strike per 20+ games. The way to do that is to give a good solid zone. The zone is really not that small.
Marriard has a solid goal, near perfection. I would hope that EVERY umpire goes into EVERY game with the goal of not missing a pitch at all. And yes, every pitch leaves the pitcher's hand as a strike and remains a strike until it forces me to call it a ball.
But we are getting ahead of ourselves and peeking at future installments. RADCatcher, don't get ahead of the game
