I think we continue to make progress on the automated ball-strike system. The technology is really outstanding. I mean, this technology is actually accurate to one-one-hundredth of an inch.

How do you set the strike zone batter to batter? The system will call any geometry of a strike zone; it will call a rectangle, a circle, an oval, whatever. What strike zone should we tell it to call? That's challenging because the rule book definition of the strike zone is not what umpires actually call today.
