Sounds good to me, but I’m not sure how I like what it might do to the pace of play. Maybe change the rules to standardize the strike zone based on batter height alone and not batting stance, otherwise I don’t see why base on balls wouldn’t skyrocket and slow down the game even more.

With three RFID, you could calculate the orientation and position of the ball which would allow you to determine whether the ball crossed the line.

The NFL would be better served by implanting these chips under the skin of some of the less reputable thugs in the employ of certain teams. The data would help immensely during the inevitable trial to follow their eventual felonious exploits.
