I think this has went so well, it will be implemented in next years SEC games. It only takes a few seconds and can be a game changer all in the name of just making the correct call. I like it.

The zone they are using is enormous.

If you've watched any MLB games most everyone loves it. The only strategic piece of it is managing the two challenges you get.

That's fine. Batters already have plenty of advantages in the college game. A consistent zone is the key. They don't need to feel like they have to chase balls off the plate because they don't trust the ump.

This, I love an expansive strike zone so long as it's generally consistent. Tight strike zones are bad baseball.

How do batters have an advantage? 30% success will get you in the HoF. I like it too, just curious what the advantages are.

But how much does it cost to implement it for an entire season?

MLB can afford it. College baseball can't....or won't, because of it not being a money-making sport.

I was wondering the same thing. How does the infrastructure for this work and what's the cost? Presumably they could incorporate the hawkeye system that all parks have, correct?

That’s insulting, it’s full figured!

I don’t think it costs that much. It’s just cameras and software.
