MLB to use robot umps in spring training - Captain Bearcat - 01-22-2020 02:29 PM https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28537918/mlb-plans-robot-umps-call-balls-strikes-spring-training-games Quote:Commissioner Rob Manfred said Major League Baseball plans to use a computerized camera system to call balls and strikes during spring training games this year, expanding the sport's implementation of "robot umpires." I don't understand how a computer can accurately alter the strike zone to adjust for each player's height and stance. A live human can adjust his strike zone if the player hunches over too much. If this ever goes live during the regular season, I think you'll start seeing players spending a lot of time figuring out how to fool the computer when they're looking for a walk.

So if they're trying to fool a machine instead, it's just six of one or a half dozen of the other.
