Disappointed. I thought this was about getting rid of home plate umpires.

And what is up with the contrast on that centerfield camera? I'd hate to try and watch a whole game like that

The traditionalist in me doesn't like it, but I understand they are trying to speed up games.

If it works it will be coming to mlb soon, mlb does not need another sign stealing incident

Non-electronic sign stealing is part of baseball IMO.

Can you put little messages on it or does it only show pitches?
What do you do when it inevitably goes down? Someone forgot to charge the battery? WiFi dies? Whatever. The guys still would need to know manual signs.

How long until someone hacks it or figures out how to intercept the information?

If you go with an electronic device to call strikes, will you still allow a plate umpire to call fair/foul and safe/out at the plate?

Shouldn't be hard to jam the signals for this. Any EE majors looking for a semester project?

Fair/foul should be easy enough to computerize, but we may need to keep the humans around for calling safe/out. At least until AI gets more sophisticated.

How long until the college baseball equivalent of Lane Kiffin comes along and finds a way to automate play calls using analytics? Will we even know if they do? Or if they already have? This seems like a step in that direction to me. Not sure if I have strong opinions that I can defend yet, but my gut says no thanks.
