The best description of the strike zone in baseball and softball is knees to chest. In baseball, the official strike zone is defined as the area over home plate from the top of the knees to the midpoint between the top of the shoulders and the top of the uniform pants. However, "knees to chest" is commonly used as a simpler way to describe the general area for the strike zone in both sports.
