Mets' Max Scherzer Says MLB's PitchCom Technology Should Be 'Illegal'

New York Mets pitcher Max Scherzer thought PitchCom technology made things too easy.

The veteran used the system for the first time Wednesday night against the New York Yankees, finishing with seven shutout innings in the Mets' 3-2 win.

"It works. Does it help? Yes. But I also think it should be illegal," Scherzer said of the new technology, per Justin Tasch of the New York Post. "I don’t think it should be in the game."

PitchCom allows a catcher to call pitches through an electronic relay rather than signing behind the plate.
