I totally agree with David B, when he stated "we have seen the last of consistent pitchers." I went on a limb yesterday and emailed the umpiring school that I am going to in January and asked them about the questech system.
They replied back that it is a very touchy subject with MLB umpires this year and that was all that was said. I concluded with this only statement, that MLB umpires do not like the system by any stretch.
In my opinion, I think the new system has taken the liberty of umpires calling balls and strikes right out of the umpires hands. No umpire is going to feel good about their zone or their ability when you have to call the strike zone according to a computer system.
As I said before, I believe in having an evaluation system for umpires at all levels of minor and major league baseball, but the questech system is not the system to use for evaluation.
