As for changing the problem with 94% of balls in the zone being called strikes, that's an umpire issue that can only be fixed with better umpires. And I don't see that happening any time soon. For as much as some of them squeezed the zone, you'd still see a ball a foot outside called a strike out of nowhere. It's just not good, and hasn't been for a long time.
Yes its been a problem for a long time which only amplifies the need for the automated strike zone and have the umpire behind the plate making all the other calls (swing, foul tips, safe/out at the plate, HBP, pitch clock, Batter clock, etc.).

Want. Would relieve so much anger while watching the games. This would actually make for a much better viewing every game.

By the end of the CWS I truly had no idea what a strike was.

I was not always for it, despite my irritation with missed calls over the years, because I thought it would take some of the art of pitching away, and make pitchers have to throw too many balls over the plate. I still think that is going to be somewhat of an issue, but the strike zones just keep moving around so much that it makes it hard to put up with. So I think it's time for auto strike zone, as well.
