Can a pitch that lands on home plate be a strike?

Answer 1

It is a base. Under rule 2.0 of the MLB official rule book, " A BASE is one of four points which must be touched by a runner in order to score a run; more usually applied to the canvas bags and the rubber plate which mark the base points."

Answer 2

If the batter swings or makes an attempt at a bunt then yes.

Answer 3

No, they can't be on or blocking the line that aligns the bases

Answer 4

Home plate is in fair territory.
