As a self professed avid baseball fan, how would you feel if a reliable electronic system was developed to automatically call balls and strikes?

Those were the article writers words, not mine. I am not much of a baseball fan myself, but i would think that an electronic system to automatically call balls and strikes could only enhance the game.

Suggested that a long time ago.

Re post 3.

Are you kidding me? This is long overdue.

Your faith in technology and those who control it is charming.

I would love to see that! I used to get so tired of seeing Maddux and Glavine getting the strike call six inches off the outside corner. I also wonder about the effectiveness of pitchers like Koufax and Gibson if they had to pitch with today’s strike zone, where pitches above the belt are rarely called strikes.

Radar guns have been clocking baseball speed for a long time. How much more difficult can it be to accurately fix ball position as well?

It hasn't been done because it would make game fixing difficult.
