re strike zone width was re jose canseco s swing in article bd atlas nafb trw com mspede atlas nafb trw com writes huckabay s counting frames for bat speed discussion ommited well it s just studying tape frame by frame that s all the biggest thing that you notice however is how bastardized the strike zone has become death to the umpires union the plate is across not call the high strikes strikes and quit calling pitches outside strikes they re balls speaking of this wide strike zone i d sure like to see cameras placed in each major league park such that an overview shot of home plate is available cbs had this during the ws or did i just dream it these pictures would be a feedback device for the umpires so that they can see just how terrible or not there calls were tapes could be sent to the league as evidence of bad ball strike umpiring tapes are available as evidence of bad out safe calls on the bases i guess that nobody noticed that the calls during the world series and in fact all year have been pretty much consistently correct remember the rule says it s a strike if any part of the ball passes through the strike zone i would certainly agree that high strikes are not called who could argue this point but all in all i think in and out is called pretty well rstimets
