  • Note: for any Little Leaguers out there, by rule, the strike zone goes from the armpits to the top of the knees, over the plate.

  • The top of his strike zone in incorrect. Unbelievable!

  • i hope you dont umpire dude

  • also if you tip the ball with 2 strikes and the catcher catches it- youre out, get it straight.... a strike is not as high as your waist, it is halfway in between your waist and your shoulders as your swing (not standing) and is usually around the letters on your jersey

  • On vysvětluje to co už všichní ví.......

  • is it right to give kids (8-9) year olds 1 or so inches out to the sides of the plate?

  • u dont explain dead ball

  • expertvillage please stop with the captions they suck so hard and after "so the" it doesnt go further and you dont see a thing

  • Depending on the level of ball (and at that point, the quality of pitching from both sides), umpires who really know the game will adjust accordingly. I track the number of walks and if I am seeing more than usual on both sides of the inning then i open-up a little bit. I always tell the catchers about this so they can let the coaches know. I've NEVER had a problem with this. Keeps the game moving and everyone happy. If the pitching is lopsided then I don't change. one teams bad luck.

  • bottom of the knees to a midpoint between the armipts and the waist (commonly "the letters" - but not always).
