If calling balls and strikes super accurately was possible, we'd already have seen it. It's not easy.


I do think there's this perception that the technology is there to call balls and strikes 100% accurately but that perception is not close to accurate at this time. Those boxes you see on t.v. are not 100% accurate. Talk to some of the folks in the minors where they have experimented with robo-umps and there are some stories.

You can YouTube a few examples of robo umps really screwing up balls and strikes very easily.

What accuracy does it have? If its better than 94%, then its an improvement over umpires. If its rate of error is consistently the same type of error, then you can adjust to that error (and not every umpire in the league). If its a particular type of error, it can also be flagged and have an overrule option.

If we want videos of missed calls, we can dig out videos of Eric Gregg and Angel Hernandez. What is the raw accuracy number?
