Default Re: Should balls and strikes be called electronically?

REdrover - don't have to be an engineer to figure this out. A curve ball reaches home in about .45 seconds. .45*30=13.5. So we will have 13 frames for a pitch. 60.5/13=4.61. So for a curve ball we will be able to see pitch every 4.61 feet. Therefore this system would only be an aid for the human eye method and definitely not a stand alone solution.
