Sports in the United States are always evolving and it seems that the MLB is not far behind, but Will there be robots in the Major Leagues? This it is what It will happen in 2024.
Last Wednesday, ESPN published a letter where it lets you know that Bob Manfred, who is the commissioner of Major League Baseball, who revealed the issues of arbitration and the duration of the Games, but also spoke about the case of the robots in the Big leagues.
But what caught the most attention in the statements of the commissioner of the MLBis that there is a possibility that in the future the robots for the season 2024.
What will be the role of the Robots in the MLB?
Bob Manfred stated that for the following season, referees will possibly be introduced robots. It is a fact that the MLB has been constantly working on improving Major League Baseball with the goal of making the game as fair and attractive as possible.
One of the reasons for trying to introduce the automated strike system will be to lower the average duration of the games. Manfred commented that this year the system had worked in the Illness Minors, which resulted in improved matches and also accelerated the average of up to nine minutes per challenge.
The Commissioner also put on the table that this innovative new system would be used to call the deliveries and these would be sent to a human plate referee, who will be in charge of delivering the call.
Manfred noted that so far this season, video replay reviews stop referee calls, which have taken an average of one minute and 37 seconds.
In fact, in 2021, the Arizona Fall League did some complicated testing with this automation, so in the next two years, this new system will need to be adjusted so that it can be as efficient as possible in the MLB.
