No, zero, zero top part of the strike zone.
You challenge, you think you're going to get a high strike.
There is no high strike.
There is, you know, a low strike to a point where it's not the knees, right?
So the knees, I mean, what is, under the rule book, what exactly is the definition of the strike zone?
No, it's definitely not that.
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.
Um, so I think that that's something that, you know, uh,
Sorry about that.
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.
Because if it is, fine, it's fair.
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.
Yeah, top part of the strike zone.
Talk to many of the hitters that said anything that I felt was above the belt, I would challenge.
And when we challenge it over the belt, now we're talking about the belt to above the knees.
So now you're throwing to, you know, you're getting a lot more horizontal of a strike zone, right?
And less vertical on the strike zone, right?
Um, but anything above the belt would be challenged and probably a really high percentage of that would be called balls.
Now that depends on if it was above the belt or not on the perception of what the hitter was seeing and interpreting.
