| July 30, 2022 garyheifner 649 posts | pitching arc. Moved to the villages Florida in Nov. Some 3000 men plus women play softball during the year. One thing that has not changed is that I still have not found an umpire that knows what 12 feet is. I would still like to see the arc 6 t0 10 feet. An ump could easily estimate the height of a pitcher and visualize a yard stick plus a little more over his head. I have been in too many games where the ump has had a lot to do with the winner and being inconsistent on the high arc. |

As I'm sure you know not all umpires (even paid ones) have the same strike zone day to day.. what I tell them in my free umpire clinics that I put on 3 times a year is what ever your 6' to 12' strike zone is that day BE CONSISTENT with it the whole game.. in fact come join us 8/15 at Buffalo Glen 9am and maybe you can give us some insight on just where 12' arc is ... c ya there Bill Johnson UIC The Villages Fl. |
