how high is the strike zone from the ground in baseball?

Question

PLZ!!!

Answer 1

Depends on the batter.

Answer 2

The STRIKE ZONE is that area over home plate the upper limit of which is a horizontal line at the midpoint between the top of the shoulders and the top of the uniform pants, and the lower level is a line at the hollow beneath the knee cap. The Strike Zone shall be determined from the batter's stance as the batter is prepared to swing at a pitched ball.

That's the official definition, but every umpire is different!

Answer 3

Kneecaps to numbers. Although, this has changed alot of the years most umpires accept the strike zone as being between the players knees and just below the numbers on his jersey. For a history of the strikezone click the link below.

Answer 4

It really depends on the Umpire. Every one has a slightly different strike zone. Typically, it goes from around the knees of the batter up to the stomach.

Answer 5

By the book, the height of the lower part of the strike zone is established when the hitter is set in the box and it is from his kneee caps to the lowest part of the name on the jersey.

Every umpire has a different strike zone they like to call but what I previously stated is the "standard" to go by!

Answer 6

strike zone is located between the knees and the shoulders. The height from the ground depends on the height and the stance of the batter.

Answer 7

It varies depending on the batter's height and stance. The strike zone begins at the bottom of the knees.

Answer 8

The height has nothing to do with it. the strike zone is from your knees to the letters on your uniform.

Answer 9

Its goes from the knee's to the middle of the chest or number on the Jersey, so it depends also on the height of the player.

Answer 10

It all depends on the umpire. Some call it at the lettering on the batter's jersey. Some call it either just above or just below that.... it just all depends on the umpire!
