Major League Baseball (MLB), who had commissioned the system, wanted human umpires to announce the calls, just as they would have done in the past. When the first pitch came in, a recorded voice told DeJesus it was a strike. Previously, calling a strike was a judgment call on the part of the umpire. Even if the batter does not hit the ball, a pitch that passes through the ‘strike zone’ (an imaginary zone about seventeen inches wide, stretching from the batter’s knees to the middle of his chest) is considered a strike. During that first game, when DeJesus announced calls, there was no heckling and no shouted disagreement. Nobody said a word.

Calls by the umpire

Even after ABS was developed, MLB still wanted human umpires to shout out decisions as they had in their 1. The umpire’s job had, at one time, required a 2 about whether a ball was a strike. A ball is considered a strike when the batter does not hit it and it crosses through a 3 extending approximately from the batter’s knee to his chest.

In the past, 4 over strike calls were not uncommon, but today everyone accepts the complete ban on pushing or shoving the umpire. One difference, however, is that during the first game DeJesus used ABS, strike calls were met with 5

A pitch boundary
B numerous disputes
C team tactics
D subjective assessment
E widespread approval
F former roles
G total silence
H perceived area
