but it took almost 20 years of using Hawkeye driven by player challenges (and a global pandemic) to use electronic line calling instead of human linesmen.
Your suggestion (if serious) seems likes a precipitous leap.
But (if serious), I think your suggestion will come to fruition. I can see a day where ABS calls the balls and strikes, and does it as shortly after the pitch goes beyond the plate as humans do it today.
No longer will big name players get the biased thumb on the scale of justice that they get today. I noticed that Ohtani was one of the biggest "losers" related to the advent of ABS. I'm pro-fairness.
