Hello students and welcome back to the class room. Today we
are going to discuss a subject that was a heated discussion on this past weeks
show. And that was how to stop the “Human Error” that is prevalent in today’s Major
League Baseball. The best example of this is Detroit Tigers ace pitcher Justin
Verlander. He is givin a strike zone that is way bigger than that of the
average Major League pitcher what would be a ball for most pitchers will be a
strike for the ace. But the question is how to fix it? How do you help the
umpires get it right with more accuracy. We are going to look at one option presented
to us last Sunday on the show…
New gear that would
allow a machine to tell umpires when a call is ball or strike: Basically to
my understanding this system would use the existing MLB K-Zone that we see on
almost every network on baseball. You would wire a red and green led light into
the mask of the umpires that would be connected directly to the K-Zone that
would then signal the umpire to whether or not a pitch is a ball or a strike.
The umpire would then make the call and the margin of error would be miniscule.
The thought is that this will fix the problem and issues that people complain
about with the umpires making balls and strike calls. It was presented to me
that baseball is already headed in this direction and the K-zone is the proof
of it. This is a statement I strongly disagree with and in the next perspective
I will tell you my solution to this problem…. Till then Class is Dismissed…
