Robo-Umps Fail to Outperform Human Baseball Umpires

Automated ball-strike systems in baseball are not yet ready to replace human umpires. In recent tests, the technology has frequently confirmed the accuracy of human judgment calls. This suggests that while AI has potential in sports officiating, it still requires significant development to consistently match or exceed the performance of experienced human officials. The current systems may need further refinement before they can be reliably implemented at professional levels, indicating a gap between current AI capabilities and the nuanced demands of real-time sports officiating.
