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. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/robot-umpires-coming-mlb-200914061.html #MLB #BaseBall #RoboUmp #Umpires #Cameras #StrikeZone #ABS #Automation #AI

No more missed calls. Just bad Wi-Fi. ⚾️
We wanted fairness. We got firmware.
