I imagine ABS will compensate. If the batter changes his stance at the pitch , the zone will change at the same time. OAITW r.2.0 Friday #13
No. All hitters have been measured WestMichRad Saturday #16
The strike zone is mutable. It not only changes with the batter, LisaM Saturday #17

It's spring training for umps, too... Wounded Bear Friday #3
You definitely need limitations on challenges. Most shouldn't be contested. OAITW r.2.0 Friday #4
Managers have no direct say in the pitch challenge action. WestMichRad Friday #7
How is the review done? OAITW r.2.0 Friday #9
It's actually displayed on the jumbotron at the game... Wounded Bear Saturday #23
You are correct about the actual challenge... Wounded Bear Saturday #18
I have no doubt that you are correct on this. WestMichRad Saturday #20
My guess is this is a stepping stone to ABS calling all the pitches VMA131Marine Saturday #15
I'm a high school umpire and would love to have ABS and reviewed calls. chicoescuela Friday #8
It has to be controlled use. Otherwise, the game breaks down. OAITW r.2.0 Friday #10
Of course, you're right the number of challenges has to be controlled. chicoescuela Friday #11
It's a beautiful thing to be involved at your level. OAITW r.2.0 Friday #12
Absolutely right. I love the game and being involved with the kids that love it too. chicoescuela Friday #14
It will change the game a little... WestMichRad Saturday #21
