lHappens in all college sports and to all teams. Watch this clip all the way through to really see the replay of where this pitch was.
That is good baseball. They figured out that if the catcher starts his glove outside the ball and catches it as he moves it toward the strike zone, it will give the illusion of being a strike. Catchers are graded on their ability to do this move.
There are 6 inches between home plate and the batters box. And that ball did more than break the plane of the LH batters box.

I love baseball, but man. Talk about importance in collected data. This ranks up there with...It creates the visual illusion of it being a strike. Every ump falls for it at times. Here are the stats for MLB catchers.
The way it's been applied, from what I've seen, is that a game ends at the end of the current inning when the clock passes 4:30. There was a big controversy between A&M and UK (iirc) where UK was stalling in the bottom of an inning while having the lead because it was getting close to 4:30.What does that mean? 3rd game has to be in 9th inning by 4:30?
all those angles dont matter. All that matters is what the ump thinks that he saw. Ump was set up over inside shoulder which makes it more difficult to tell outside strikes. Catcher was set up slightly off the plate and did a good job catching the ball as his glove was moving back to the strike zone.There are 6 inches between home plate and the batters box. And that ball did more than break the plane of the LH batters box.
