heartbroken that the practical upshot of this isn't using the existing automated system to actually call balls and strikes rather than our current system of letting umpires call balls and strikes and then using the existing automated system to shame them. I was hoping for fully-robotic umpires a la SNES cult game Super Baseball 2020. I was also hoping that they'd just switch to letting the existing system get every call right instantly and automatically rather than a challenge system that intentionally limits the number of calls that are made correctly while slowing down the pace of play and increasing costs.
