In zone
” In zone” in baseball means when a hitter hits a pitch that is inside the strike zone. The strike zone is a theoretical rectangular region above home plate, ranging from somewhat below the batter’s knees to slightly above the shoulders, spanning about 17 inches in front and behind home plate. Hitting a pitch in the strike zone is a good hit since it shows the batter’s skill in making strong contact with the ball. Even if a pitch is inside the strike zone, the batter’s ability to hit it well or at all depends on the pitch’s quality and the batter’s skill level.
