The strike zone in girls' fast pitch softball is defined as the area over home plate between the batter's knees and the midpoint of their torso when they are in a natural stance. The width of the strike zone is the width of home plate, which is 17 inches. Umpires may have slight variations in how they call the zone, but generally, pitches that cross through this area should be called strikes. For a visual representation, you can find diagrams online that outline the strike zone dimensions.
