And another point; At what distance does the umpire get a chance to see the pitch, and is it the same as what the batter and the catcher see?

I understand that pitches can change trajectory dramatically as they approach and cross the plate.

And then, I think of the distance between the front and the back of home plate. Where does the technology decide where to place the little baseball dingbat? Front? Back? Middle? Average? What if the batter swings early, middle or late?

When a batter looks ridiculous for swinging at a ball a foot away, is that an accurate presentatiion of what he saw and what he swung at?

Can we get a more complete explanation? Thanks.

Wow! Thanks for the info! I’ve always been curious how the ‘k-zone’ works! Very topical, I wonder what we’ll see next in terms of technology integrated into athletics?
