When the batter is in a natural stance ◦ AA: shin to shoulder
4 inches below knee to shoulder
◦ AAA: bottom knee to armpit ◦ MAJORS : top of knee to armpit
ALL LEVELS: over the plate (no widening). ◦ In no case should the zone be extended inward or outward.
REMEMBER! If any part of a pitched ball touches any part of that strike zone, it is a strike and you are expected to call it as such. ◦ Like breaking a pane of glass Alpine West Menlo Little League 2017 Umpire Training
