Reply to "Automated Strike Zone Gets Test Run"

The game began a few minutes late and I listened to every pitch so far. It’s the top of the 2nd now, and I don’t hear anything different than any other ball game. There does seem to be some running interaction between Eric Byrnes, the PU, and the players. All the calls were made over the sound system so there wasn’t any guessing.

 

Something I’d really like to see is how when any part of the ball touches the strike zone, the monitor somehow illuminates. That’s something they talked about and I hope we all get to see at some point in time. If that is something that’s happens, it would be a pretty simple matter to have a monitor for both team so they can judge when to challenge a call. I got a glimpse of it on SportsCenter. Pretty difficult to miss a strike with that thing flashing in your face.

 

Seems to be discussion about approach for hitters. Some say need to be more patient, others say need to be more aggressive.

 

Here’s an account of the game from one of the local papers.
