I have noticed that the umpires have definitatly sqeezed the strike zone. If they think a kid is good or has a scholorship, they get a smaller strike zone. A quite unrealistic one at that. I know unpires are human, but they need to keep the game honest and have the same strike zone for all and be consistant. I feel there are some out there that should not be umpires. They don't seem to know the rules of the game as well as they should. If someone pitches fast in high school they can not keep up with it like they should, therefore not calling it correctly. I guess we just need better trained umpires overall. Ky high school Association needs to review and be more on top of what is going on in the field. It is high school ball and it is just not right when the umpires do the wrong things.
