Yes they suck but robo strike calling isn’t going to be entertaining at all. I see umpires all the time that miss calls out of the zone but it is consistent. It adds a new strategy and dynamic to each game. Hitters have to adjust and so do pitchers.

What if the umpire could slightly adjust the strike zone that the robot is reacting to before each game, within reason, to be reflective of what he thinks it should be.
Then the robot tells him strike or ball into an ear piece so he can be demonstrative with his calls.

Except they’re not consistent.
You could literally program the automated zone to call the strike zone based on the ump behind the plate and it would be 100% consistent.
I’m so tired of seeing batters strike out because they have a better eye than the ump. Or pitchers making a perfect pitch and it gets called a ball.

How many people attend and watch baseball games to see umpires call balls and strikes? The great umpires are invincible because they aren't making any screwups that draw your attention. Baseball isn't football, basketball, soccer, and hockey where foul calls and infractions are subjective. The officiating can be very easily automated and getting the call right 99% of the time instead of 90-95% of the time would greatly improve the game.

Why? Nothing will be missed by not seeing some fat slob blow a perfect pitch becauae he was lined up incorrectly.
Baseballs problem ia speeding up the game...this would help. The home olate guy stays there and replaces balls, calls at the plate, etc.
The worst part in all of aports is having to watch those fricks call balls and strikes.
