Best Answer

17 inches (width of homeplate) x Knees to letters generally speaking. If you read the history of the Major League strike zone, it has varied. It has always been from the knees on the lower boundary, but the upper boundary has been from the belt to the armpits. Most recent ruling was halfway between the belt and armpits for the upper boundary.
