Strike?
Automated officiating on the bases would be next.

Shouldn't be a challenge system. The robot should call every pitch.

I liked the way it was used in Spring Training.

Baby steps. At least this is a start. I’d imagine it’ll fully automated within the next five years

It seems like the umps who suck the most are usually old and out of shape. Almost as if that has an effect on their performance. Crazy concept.

Would imagine a unanimous yes when owners vote on this

Its definitely time for this.
As long as its done without dirupting the flow of the game.
Also please add a real review of a check swing.

And tell the call to the home plate umpire in an ear piece instantaneously. In fact, all umpires can have one ear piece in just for redundancy and so they all know the calls. The robot can call ball or strike truly immediately.
Best of both worlds:
Call is always right, ump gets to be dramatic. I don't want the fun strike three calls going away.
