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


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?

I'm not sure it can really accurately be measured. And the fact that they measure the accuracy of current umpires on a system that is not 100% accurate can be seen as a flaw in the system as well.

Now Angel Hernandez - we can all agree he's a problem. No argument there.

But the issue for me is you still have humans making the adjustments on the system and the various factors that go into that are many and varied and not just as simple as tweaking a calibrating a still largely subjective factors.
