Impressive. But it is still not clear that judgement is eliminated. "A
graphical rendering of the pitch and its placement in the strike zone
appears...". Does that mean an umpire still makes the determination? How
is the strike zone determined, particularly the vertical? Do you measure
the strike zones of the players before the game? If so, how is that
matched up with the photos?
