rest - https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...training-gamesCommissioner Rob Manfred said Major League Baseball plans to use a computerized camera system to call balls and strikes during spring training games this year, expanding the sport's implementation of "robot umpires."
Manfred announced MLB's plans Wednesday during an interview with Fox Business Network, saying that the "camera-based system" will be "more accurate than a human being standing there."
"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."
