		<description><![CDATA[AS someone who is deeply invested in the technology sector - the idea that assisted zone calling isn&#039;t &quot;ready&quot; is total BS.  Even using CURRENT Pitchtrax to give umpires instantaneous audible &quot;in&quot; or &quot;out&quot; - would dramatically improve on 30+% of missed calls on close strikes/balls.  

Beyond that - optic recognition is so advanced, a SATELLITE can identify human features from over 10,000 feet.  Trust me - there is more than enough  - with correctly placed cameras - to currently provide calls/strikes to within a 1% error - FAR and beyond better than what is currently called.

Moreover, with slight adaptation to currently manufactured baseball, a hidden layer of isotopes, magnetic coating or other materials could be added (leaving the structure and surface of the balls untouched) that would allow tracking the ball TO THE MICRON.  If also embedded on players cleats and gloves, and playing field fixtures (like bags and homeplate) you could instantaneously determine ALL tagging, running, fair/foul plays as well.

I&#039;m tired of hearing this BS that technology isn&#039;t advanced enough.  It is either MLB itself, the union or MLB&#039;s fear of the union- maybe even cost - which is holding back the game from TRULY increasing pace of play and making it far more enjoyable for the fan and players.

Imagine how much better rewarded GREAT command pitching would be!!!]]></description>
