1 month agoMajor League Baseball will test robot umpires as part of a challenge system in spring training in 2025 at 13 ballparks that host 19 teams. If the league likes how things go, it could lead to use of robot umpires during the regular season as early as the following year in 2026. MLB has been testing the automated ball-strike system in the minors since 2019 but is still trying to work out the shape of the strike zone. "I would be interested in having it in '26," commissioner Rob Manfred said. "We do have a collective bargaining obligation there. That's obviously a term and condition of employment. We're going to have to work through that issue, as well." The automated ball-strike system currently calls strikes solely based on where the ball crosses the midpoint of the plate, 8.5 inches from the front and the back. The top of the zone was increased to 53.5% of batter height in 2024 from 51%.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
