Looks like it will happen in MLB in a season or two. Are you for it or against it? Interested in hearing your thoughts.

@Thinkerbell good point, however the strike zone is technically 3 dimensions. It would be harder to record and determine

They could do that with three cameras, one from in front of the plate, one from above, and one from the side (facing the batter). That combination could make a better determination than any human umpire could, especially since the option of a slow-motion replay would be available.

@Thinkerbell I agree but the stadium design prevents those camera positions

Well, they currently show camera views from in front of the plate (presumably with a telescopic lens).
I don't see why they couldn't do the same from the side or from above. 🤔

@Thinkerbell there is no sight from above in less in a covered stadium

How about stretching a cable from from one side of the stadium to the other above home plate? 🤔
