I also think they should make the strike zone smaller with robo ump. If you look at contact stats hitters handle in and out pretty well but struggle with up and down (why is why the trend is away from horizontal pitches to vertical movement).

So raise the lower boundary to top of kneecap and lower the upper edge a ball width and it should help Ks, if you want you can deaden the ball a little to compensate for the smaller zone.

Deader ball plus smaller zone means less incentive for pitchers to nibble and throw breaking balls
