Webcast Screen's Strike Zone Problem

I dislike complaining, but after looking at the "Webcast Screen" for the upteenth time -- I think the "strike zone" is a bit low. To me, it appears to be below the knees and and too low under the arms.

This is MLB's strike zone history:

1996 - The Strike Zone is expanded on the lower end, moving from the top of the knees to the bottom of the knees.

1988 - "The Strike Zone is that area over home plate the upper limit of which is a horizontal line at the midpoint between the top of the shoulders and the top of the uniform pants, and the lower level is a line at the top of the knees. The Strike Zone shall be determined from the batter's stance as the batter is prepared to swing at a pitched ball."
