The issue I've seen with that is that the box strike zone on telecasts isn't unique. It's the average height of a ballplayer and the same for everyone

Meaning that if you automated that way, Aaron Judge and Nick Madrigal would have *vastly* different strike zones.

Responses:

I think I saw a replay the other day where the strike zone was definitely moving slightly with the player - Guigue Oct 7, 06:43
They should have vastly different strike zones. Umps are supposed to adjust the zone based on the guy at the plate. The computer can adjust each - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 7, 06:38 3
- Your IM is what I mean. Madrigal will have a strike zone from his cap to his feet. Judge will have one from his belt to his knees w/ current tech. -- nm - spamlet Oct 7, 06:39 2
  - Why? Couldn't the computer adjust the zone for each batter? I'm not sure what we see on games today is the tech they're using in the minors - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 7, 06:42 1
    - Hopefully it will. I’m just not assuming that’s the current tech since what we see isn’t. -- nm - spamlet Oct 7, 07:19
so make all the players robots too and make them all the same height -- nm - decline Oct 7, 06:37
