I've never seen any of the games that have used this. How does it work? Obviously you still need an ump at home plate to make calls other than balls and strikes. Does the computer signal him on each pitch and he call it? Does the pitch call show up on a screen? Does the announcer call it? So confused lol. As much as I dislike umps missing balls and strike calls, I think this is going overboard to fix a problem that could be fixed in other ways.....like maybe just get rid of the umps that are horrible lol

I think the ump has an earpiece for what the call is. Call that he hears is automated
