In baseball, the strike zone is a conceptual rectangular area over home plate which defines the boundaries through which a pitch must pass in order to count as a strike when the batter does not swing. The top of the strike zone is the mid-level between the top of the batter's shoulders and his belt, and the bottom is at the level just beneath the knee cap. The right and left boundaries of the strike zone correspond to the edges of home plate. A pitch at which the batter does not swing and which does not pass through the strike zone is called a ''ball''. Unofficially, the strike zone in [[Major League Baseball]] is often enforced as being from the knee of the batter to no higher than his belt, although there are a handful of umpires known to call the 'high' strike. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike_zone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Strike_zone.png
