No, zero, zero top part of the strike zone.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

You challenge, you think you're going to get a high strike.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

There is no high strike.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

There is, you know, a low strike to a point where it's not the knees, right?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

So the knees, I mean, what is, under the rule book, what exactly is the definition of the strike zone?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

No, it's definitely not that.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

It's definitely not that, but it's definitely, it's not, it's definitely not even knees to the knees to the, uh, belly button, uh, with the, with the, uh, uh, automated, you know, uh, balls and strikes.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

Um, so I think that that's something that, you know, uh,

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

Sorry about that.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

Sorry.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

Yeah, I think that's something that needs to be visited is that every player is going to be measured or however that measurement is going to be is dead on accurate.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

Because if it is, fine, it's fair.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

But if it's not, then it's not going to be obviously fair for the pitchers and also for many of the hitters that want their strike zone to be accurate.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

Yeah, top part of the strike zone.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

Talk to many of the hitters that said anything that I felt was above the belt, I would challenge.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

And when we challenge it over the belt, now we're talking about the belt to above the knees.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

So now you're throwing to, you know, you're getting a lot more horizontal of a strike zone, right?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

And less vertical on the strike zone, right?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

Um, but anything above the belt would be challenged and probably a really high percentage of that would be called balls.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
The Postseason Has Rich Hill Fired Up

Now that depends on if it was above the belt or not on the perception of what the hitter was seeing and interpreting.
