Had numerous different opinions on how balls and strikes are called. USSSA rules.
Is the strike called in relation to your body position or where in relation to where the ball hits the plate?
I played in a league in which the ball/strike was called based on the angle in which the ball crossed your shoulder. If you were up in the box and hit the plate it was still considered a strike.
In a another game they said it did not matter where the ball crosses relatively to your body. As long as it was less than 10 feet and would be called a strike usually depending on where the ball landed behind the plate.
Thoughts?
