A Northern California minor league baseball team is already using the computerized Pitch f/X video system to call balls and strikes.

If you watch a baseball game on TV these days, you’ll probably see a computerized strike zone superimposed on the screen.  Just like the yellow first down line in football, it’s just for TV purposes and doesn’t actually affect the game. But that could change in minor league baseball, where they’re testing a computerized strike zone.
