politeness | Major League Baseball has stated that it is recruiting staff to operate the system
The robot rulers have been upgraded and they are now one step closer to reaching the top companies. Major League Baseball (MLB) is extending its experience to Triple A so that computer systems determine whether the ball has passed through the strike zone.
Through its website, the MLB has posted a request for temporary employees to operate the automated ball and batting system.
Major League Baseball said they are recruiting staff to operate the system for the Albuquerque Isotopes, Charlotte Knights, Reno Aces, Round Rock Express, Sacramento River Cats, Salt Lake Bees, Sugar Land Skieters and Tacoma Rainiers.
The Atlantic League, an independent circuit, was the first professional in the United States to delegate ball and hit decisions to a computer in the July 2019 All-Star Game.
He tested the system during the second half of that campaign. The technique was also used in the Arizona Fall League in 2019, but it drew criticism for the way it marked the curves.
There has been no activity in minor leagues during 2020 due to the pandemic. Robot referees were used last season at eight of the nine parks in the Southeast Division One.
In its 2020 contract, the Major League Baseball Referees Association agreed to cooperate and assist if Commissioner Rob Manfred decides to use the system at the Major League level.
“It is difficult to calculate if this can be used at the major league level, or when and how it will happen, because there is a fundamental difference in how the game is characterized today,” said Chris Marinac, MLB’s chief of operations and strategy. in March.
Depending on Specialties, robot rulers will be used in some parks during the pre-season in Florida. It will continue to be used in the Southeast League and could reach non-MLB venues.
