Would You Advocate A System of Electronic Calling Of Balls And Strikes?

JackWESQ

Would you advocate a system where balls and strikes would be "called" electronically? The home plate umpire would still be there to make other calls, e.g. "plays at the plates", hit batmens, balks, etc. But in terms of calling balls and strikes, that would be done electronically. Perhaps something similar to the "Fox Trax."

For me, I'm not sure. But I know I would not be wholeheartedly against it.

P.S. If something like this were ever implemented, who would have the authority? The Commissioner? The Owners?

I think it would be akin to astroturf. A lot of good qualities and a logical move...but just not right.
