you make it seem like this would be difficult

the width of the plate is set, there you go. you then take measurements of every single player prior to opening day and you determine where their shoulders are and where their knees are. you enter that into the computer and now it knows what the strikezone is for every single player

wow. so difficult

Do you understand how dumb computers can be because of our input?

I struck out because I bent my knees on that one pitch or slumped my shoulders.

Strike zone is a living breathing thing with variables called human beings.

Not just dimensions of a plate and height ratio.

I wouldn't trust we could ever design a program that accurately depicts real life but only a program like Cyclops that yes the ball crossed over the plate at a certain height regardless of all the variables of the player on that pitch.
