69% of baseball fans say they'd rather have a computer vision AI system call balls and strikes than a human umpire.
This season, the MLB gave them one.
For the first time in league history, a human ump's ball-strike call is not final. A Sony computer vision system called Hawk-Eye makes the ruling.
It can read the seam pattern on the ball, measure spin axis, and detect spin decay mid-flight.
Hawk-Eye's Head of Computer Vision Engineering says the pipeline runs "various AI and machine learning models" from camera capture to data output.
On Saturday, one umpire had 6 of 8 challenged calls overturned. Three of those missed by over 2 inches.
The team ran out of challenges by the fourth inning trying to correct him, then the manager got thrown out for arguing a call they couldn't challenge.
An AI computer vision system accurate to a sixth of an inch, sitting next to a human who misses by two.
The crowd cheered for the machine.

Is the deal a salary dump?
Yup.
But, it's a prudent move.
The Rays are never going to spend like the big boys and if you ever think otherwise you'll need to join Tyler Glasnow or Manuel Margot in La La Land.
Why this trade is different than some others in the past. #RaysUp
