I do like what MLB is doing. If it just nicks the zone, it is a strike.
And it does not take long,

Haha maybe I worded it wrong. Take home message is that when a catcher challenges, they are more successful than when a batter does. Catchers have advantages in that they know the pitch being thrown and can follow the pitch with their eyes all the way to their glove. Batters have less than half a second to interpret spatial location and often react on emotion.

You get three incorrect appeals a game. If angel hernandez was umping, you could appeal every call and never run out of appeals.
Either team may issue a challenge at any point during a single plate appearance, including at the end of the at-bat. But there are restrictions, such as the defensive team cannot challenge a strike, and the offensive team cannot challenge a ball.
What am I missing here? Why would you ever want to do either of these?
I like it but I’d love to see a game called completely by the hawk eye.
Only thing I can think of is a team willing to burn a challenge to give the bullpen a little extra time. Still not very logical but it's the best I could think of.
I could possibly see it if your top RBI guy draws a walk and you want him to get another chance to swing. But the pitcher could just put you on anyway.
Most likely they’re just wording it that way because managers always find some 3D chess way of using quirks in the rule book, and they just don’t want that to come up later.
Probably a dumb question, but why is the ABS strike zone 19" wide if home plate is only 17" wide?
