Interesting. I assume the strike zone is roughly cube-shaped. Does the ball have to be completey within the zone, or may part of the ball extend beyond? If so, then how much?
It’s where the ball crosses the plate. So the strike zone is a rectangle.
The interesting part is how does the robo-ump adjust to the height of the hitter and the batting stance?
“Interesting. I assume the strike zone is roughly cube-shaped. Does the ball have to be completely within the zone, or may part of the ball extend beyond? If so, then how much?”
The ball only has to touch a piece of the strike zone to be called a strike.
If any part of the ball touches any part of the zone during its flight, it’s a strike...even if it’s just the seam “brushing” the edge of the zone.
no, there ball has to touch the zone, any part of the ball. But that is not how it is called.
