Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 5309392, member: 1646"] This is bush league, but you are wrong about the strike zone. "According to the current edition of Little League’s [I]Rules, Regulations, and Policies[/I], the [B]STRIKE ZONE [/B]is that space over home plate which is between the batter’s armpits and the top of the knees when the batter assumes a natural stance. The umpire shall determine the strike zone according to the [B]batter’s usual stance when that batter swings at a pitch[/B]." So, if this kid really bats like that, then that's his strike zone. Rickey Henderson had a small strike zone because he really had a crouched stance. But the kid in the video clearly (in my opinion, and yours) has no intention of really batting like that. It's the coach's fault for letting the kid do this. [/QUOTE]
