An Umpire Strike Zone Evaluator.
It would be simple. An umpire is graded based on every non-swinging pitch on whether it was appropriately called or not, using the k-zone thingy. Any pitch that touches any part of the k-zone, should be considered a strike call. Anything outside of it, should be considered a ball call.
Then, we could have a grading system where MLB could evaluate their umpires. For example:
Jim Joyce - 91% accurate strike zone
CB Buchnor - 64% accurate strike zone
Am I the only one that thinks that would be cool? Additionally, pitchers could easily change their game plan based on the umpire they have. And lastly, umpires could see how much they suck, and try to improve.
