Umpires agree to “cooperate” with a computerized strikezone

One of the more interesting stories that broke over the weekend in the baseball world was that the Major League Baseball Umpires Association has agreed to work with Major League Baseball when it comes to implementing a computerized strikezone. The agreement was a part of the new labor agreement between the two, which is good for the next five seasons.

Now, before you get excited about seeing this in action, pump your brakes. Heck, you might want to just push the brakes to the floor. This is not happening soon. If you recall, Major League Baseball used Trackman to call strikes this past season in the Atlantic League.
