It’s time…with the technology everywhere. AI strike zones are needed.

It’s almost comical but we have the technology to fix it.

This is why baseball is the most Dune sport... a highly regimented system that would logically be governed by machines if they weren't seen as an affront to sacred beliefs

I hate the need for this, but it might be time. To me it takes away from the purity of the game, though. This is much less of a problem in the major leagues, obviously.
Division one umpires get 200 to 500 a game. In the major league it's over 100 grand to almost a half a million annually.
Obviously the Lure to transition over to the major leagues is the biggest motivation there is to be great at what you do, but regardless, we might just need to have AI strike zones for all levels of baseball

We don't need AI to tell if a ball crosses through a box lmao. It's just basic ABS tech.
Edit: ABS not VAR

I think the complete opposite. Having electronic strike zones makes the game far more pure. Every single game, no matter who’s calling it, each batter gets the same, identical strike zone. Each pitcher gets the same strike zone.

Yeah it should just signal the call to the ump and he’s just like an old fashioned announcer for those.

I don’t no much about baseball but isn’t why they do it is they want to allow for catchers to have a bigger effect on the game with I think what yall called framing. I thought that was what they don’t want to take away from

Would you fire an employee that you know was costing you things in your job or if they were just failing to get it right? But hey shows up everyday... so do you keep him for the purity of never missing work??

If you're speaking of purity as in accuracy, then yes. And I'm not saying it's not needed. But I will miss a human being calling balls and strikes. That's the game we grew up watching.
Then there's a whole aspect of different umpires having different strike zones. I mean referees call the playoffs different in basketball for fouls. Some people like the human aspect

Well I'm not arguing against baseball moving to AI for calling balls & strikes. I think we should. But I'll miss seeing the human aspect

I have always thought they could mount sensors to call balls and strikes. The only variable is sheer the batters knees and elbows are, and they could be outfitted with sensors to tell where those are located. You would still need an official there to call “hit batters” as well as governing the game.

I'm a baseball purist but the SEC umpires ruin a great game.
I'm all far electronic balls/strikes.
Not just for accuracy but I'm afraid there's bias or even corruption in umpiring and electronic strike zone would mostly remedy this.

The ump is not your employee. Bad analogy.

That is a great idea actually

Is subjective and not beyond reproach. They can be tampered with, they can have bias

So the call result would get sent to each team and the ump so everyone knows what he’s calling is correct, and that’s it. Posted on 5/3/25 at 9:16 pm to TOPAL
Been saying this for years. Not sure why they haven't done it. Unless they want to still control the outcome.

You might be on to something right there.
