  1. Major League Baseball has rolled out its Automated Ball/Strike System aka Robo- Umps this season. (Robot umpires have been tested in the minor leagues since 2019)

    The roll out also includes a Challenge system where the human umpire makes each call, which can be appealed to the computer.

    Each team has the ability to challenge two calls per game. Only a batter, pitcher or catcher may challenge a call, and a challenge must be made within 2 seconds.

    A graphic of the pitch and strike zone is shown on the scoreboard and sent to the TV broadcast feed. sports.yahoo.com/articles/robo #MLB #BaseBall #RoboUmp #Umpires #Cameras #StrikeZone #ABS #Automation #AI

  6. Interesting look at the pitch challenge system in AAA. Hard to say how this would work in the bigs. AAA zone is BS. Another way to "juice" offense, but I don't think walks are gonna be a draw for casual fans. I also was surprised that the challenge system worked as efficiently as it did, and of course they limit the challenges, but I still wonder if you'd end up wrecking advances in "pace of play" they've seen this year. #baseball #milb #strikezone

  7. What is a strike? Computers, umpires disagree :

    big league umpires usually don't call strikes on pitches that clip the bottom of the three-dimensional zone's front or the top of the back, making the actual strike zone more of an oval than a cube.
