Why the count may change what baseball umpires see
Original: Ball or strike? Why the count may change what a baseball umpire sees
New research suggests baseball umpires' ball and strike calls may be influenced by the count itself, meaning the same pitch could be judged differently depending on the game situation. The findings feed an ongoing debate about umpire accuracy and growing calls for automated strike-zone technology in Major League Baseball.
Why now: Interest in umpire accuracy and robot umpires is high as MLB experiments with automated strike-zone technology.
