We see them all the time now, a visual rectangle where the strike zone is thought to be on a batter and the pitch hitting/missing that rectangle creating outrage.
I have thought for years they could automate balls and strikes with multiple camera views.
However what these videos we often see are ignoring is that what matters is where is the ball when it crosses the plate (front or back), and NOT where the ball is when the catcher catches it.
