"I think there will come a time when we will experiment with an automated strike zone."
Rob Manfred, the commissioner of Major League Baseball. Manfred spoke February 27th at the SportTechie State of the Industry conference at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. As the name suggest, SportTechie deals with the intersection of sports and technology. Back to Manfred on the automated strike zone:
"The technology has gotten much, much better. We are much closer to being able to do that. But, you koow, the way I always answer this question, and it remains my answer, is whether you have the technology or not, I think this is one of those areas where you have to think about the management of the game on the field. The source of authority for umpires...or one of the sources for their authority is that call a ball or strike on every single play in a baseball game. And before you alter that fundamental dynamic you really have to think through what the consequences of that's going to be."

Manfred also addressed the question of whether baseball analytics have gone too far. I can't get enough baseball data, but I know some fans think that all the numbers, and the reliance on them for decision-making, are taking some of the fun out of the game.
"I don't waste a lot of time on the question of whether there is a point where analytics goes too far. And the reason I don't is, it doesn't matter whether I think it's going too far or not, or even objectively whether it's gone too far. The fact of the matter is, that's how people are thinking about the game, ok? That's how they're analyzing the game, it's going to happen...you just can't tell people, I know you have available to you a way to determine with a lot of accuracy how good Rob Manfred is gonna be for the next five years before you sign him. But you know what? We don't really like that outcome, so we don't want you to think about it. I mean, that's not the real world."
The Major League Baseball season starts March 20th in Tokyo, where the Seattle Mariners will take on the Oakland A's.

曼弗雷德还回答了棒球分析是否太过的问题,(tXKkeaG)1y。我个人觉得棒球数据越多越好，但我知道有些球迷认为所有数据以及决策方面对这些数据的依赖，使比赛失去了一些乐趣ooa,w@U6dy*W,vSzWp=。
“我不会浪费很多时间来讨论棒球分析是否存在一个点，而现在是否过头了=mJd|AD2P2。原因是，我认为棒球分析是否过头都无所谓，甚至客观来说它是否太过也并不重要;(ICq@,bEoU。事实上，这就是人们的看法，对吧？这是他们分析比赛的方式，这是会发生的事情……你不能告诉他人，在我签下罗伯·曼弗雷德之前，我就有方法能非常准确地判断他在未来五年的表现2a&ihca4M|PE9F。但你知道吗？我们不喜欢这种结果，所以我们不希望你们去考虑oj+AH*1dd.-XBPn。我是说，那不是真实的世界)odi9UH&9ujLp。”
