Reply to "Batter absolutely on top of the plate"

They also need to introduce a rule saying that if a hitter is hit by a pitch on any sort of protective garment, eg. evoshield elbow guards, that a base is not awarded unless the hit area is not over the plate and the pitch is the fourth ball.   If a player is struck while in the strike zone, a strike is called, just the same as if he had no protective shield.  If he is not in the strike zone but over the plate, a no-pitch is called.

The rules are fine.
