why can't this be automated? you don't even need some super advanced AI. just an object detection algorithm. or make it even simpler and put a tracker in the ball to determine where it was when it was over the plate.
No, you don't understand, getting calls wrong is part of the Spirit of the Game™
>>152550251Technology doesn't improve game play or the accuracy of calls
>>152551233technology could call every pitch perfectly
>why can't this be automated? it can. because baseball is ran by boomers, autists, and autistic boomers who throw hissy fits if you don't let power tripping faggots dictate games
>>152550372this but unironically
>>152551265Shut up zoomie>>152551313Aww the ump called you out instead of safe playing tee-ball
to be honest, the wickets in cricket are a much more elegant solution than the strike zone.
the strike zone is dependent on each player's height
>>152551549so what?
>>152551549Just put a reflector on the letters and knees. That'll be 9001 million dollars, MLB.
>>152550251Because they need the umpire to rig games.
>>152551615so an operator would have to adjust the setting of the strike zone on every at-batbut if height alone is not the only determining factor, then it could get more complicatedfor example 2 players of equal height can have different stances
I saw people at home using some kind of plate a bit like the cricket wickeds I would like that more you either hit it or you dont no secret tech. Nothing wrong with everyone having the same size strike zone.
>>152551837to calculate the batters box all you need is>the width of the plate>the height of the knees and elbowthe plate width is constant and stationary to the camera, so that's easythe height of the knees and elbow could easily be calculated by the camera using object recognitioneven if not, there are only 18 batters (plus any pinch hitters/subs) in a game. they could easily preprogram it in for each player and just have it cycle. it would be zero effort
