Batter begins the pitch sequence in a relatively upright stance. As pitch is being delivered, he squats down 4-5 inches as part of his load. He’s not intending to get small, it’s just part of his swing.
Is the strike zone based on the squatted, loaded lower position he’s in when the ball crosses the plate, or on his position when the pitcher starts the pitch?
Thank you very much.
