About Those Rules


The left and right sides of the strike zone are easy to understand but what about a pitch's height?

Rule 12.02 A ball is:
a. a pitch outside of the strike zone as judged by the Referee where a kick is not attempted (see Rule 1.02);
b. a pitched ball that does not touch the ground at least twice or roll before reaching the kicking box;
c. a pitched ball that exceeds one foot in height from the bottom of the ball as it enters the kicking box;
d. a pitched ball that exceeds one foot in height from the bottom of the ball at any time while passing through the kicking box, prior to reaching the kicker;
e. a pitched ball that is higher than one foot at the plate.

--------------------
The key here is the one foot height limit from the bottom of the ball. If it enters the kicking box above that, or is above that before it reaches the kicker, then the pitch is a ball.
