Reply to ""Borderline Pitches""

Do you acknowledge that there is a "borderline pitch"?

As all three, a former player, former coach and parent:

Absolutely! For me, a borderline pitch passes within the width of a man's fist of the outer boundaries of the rule book zone. This allows for understandable errors when visual tracking of a thrown ball as it passes through a 3-dimensional space at 80+ mph.

My ongoing complaint has always been with the arrogant, intentional distortion of the rulebook strike zone, no matter how consistently applied, especially the total disregard for a high strike and the additional 6+ inches of outside corner.
