honest question on strikezone

HSDad221,000+ posts

I would like to know from badged umpires who call HS and college games why the ball above the waist and below the letters is not a strike. Its so common not to be a strike that on the rare occasion something around belly button is called and the hitters and coaches start complaining. Is this mandated? What is the real strikezone you are directed to call? Its to the point now pitchers (other than the outside strike which is generous) are asked to put the ball in most hitter's wheel-house to get a strike called. just want an honest answer.
