As Major League Baseball tries to stop teams from using technology to get an advantage, it’s ironic that MLB commissioner Rob Manfred indicated that there will be the use of “robot umpires” during Spring Training.
“We believe over the long haul it’s going to be more accurate,” Manfred said. “It will reduce controversy in the game and be good for the game.”
Rob Manfred also said on FOX Business that we’re going to see use of the so-called robot umpire system during spring training.

Rob Manfred didn’t say any specifics but the use of an electronic strike zone will be tested during Spring Training.
