The Mets' broadcast and the Cardinals' broadcast were using two different strike zones.

The high/low I can see, and even laterally an inch or two off. When a pitch is 5-6 inches off, it never touched the plate. I don't even need the panel to see that.
If a batter is twisting out of the way of a pitch and the ball hits the bat, if it’s fair and the batter is safe at first. What’s that? Do you count it as a hit? Or is it something else? Your answer needs to be consistent .Whats the rule? Bc these 8 yr old girls when ball is coming at them, will drop the bat, jump, etc. But its clear they werent swinging. I dont think it should be a strike on swing if they drop their hands or bat and jump back to avoid being hit. Seems like umps dont get the ruling on that.
Well, it certainly looks like some of these guys need something. I see pitches 5-6 inches off the plate getting called strikes. That's hard to overlook when the umpire is getting $40 per game. It's really bad when they're making six figures.
Assuming the defense couldn't react and get to the ball in time to make a play - it is a hit. That is why it's called a batting average.If a batter is twisting out of the way of a pitch and the ball hits the bat, if it’s fair and the batter is safe at first. What’s that?

Highlighted what for clarity? The catchers head? The catchers mitt? None of those matter. What was the ball path?

Of course. So swinging the bat while trying to get out of the way is still a swing right?Assuming the defense couldn't react and get to the ball in time to make a play - it is a hit. That is why it's called a batting average.
So one picture justifies your blanket statement about MLB?
