Cool strike zone.
Really? So, the midget Jose Altuve will have the same strike zone box as Aaron Judge?
Pretty much. It varies from network to network and park to park for that matter. It is inconsistent and haphazard. It’s not the same system that umpires use to study their games. I’m not saying it’s never adjusted but it’s pretty obvious when you look at it on the screen that it varies from batter to batter. Also it doesn’t take into account the change in the zone as a batter moves throughout the pitch.
How can people watch a car drive itself through real-life traffic and think that computers just aren’t smart enough these days to call a strike just because batters are different sizes?
There is zero issue with a computer calling every actual strike a strike and every ball a ball. Any noise about failures or redundancy or accuracy is just noise. The real problems are umpires, traditions, and how many corner/framed pitches will draw irate reactions when they’re called correctly.
It should vary from batter to batter. And the strike zone doesn’t move mid pitch. A batter can’t just duck to have his shoulders at his knees and make the zone tiny. I’m confused.
I could certainly be wrong, but can you send a link showing where the zone changes mid pitch? Players square to bunt all the time and pull back.
It’s just idiotic to shift with 2 strikes and the DP in order. Inning should be over.
