Let's Talk Sports: Let's talk robot umps

By Mike Blake | Sep 30, 2021

Let's talk baseball and robot umpires. Analytical data shows that umpires will miss about 30,000 wrong ball-strike calls this season. The difference of one strike in an at-bat can be huge. For example, hitters are batting .318 with an .840 on-base-plus-slugging percentage through Aug. 1 when the count is 0-1. That drops to .142 with a .369 OPS when the count is 0-2. It spikes back to .339 with a .918 OPS if the count is instead 1-1. Bring on the robots.
