I would think the cost is simply too high for use in MiLB or College, let alone HS. Multiple cameras, video recoding and computers are not cheap, then you have trained operators and later supervisors to clean up the raw data.

MLB spends quite a bit of time cleaning up the data before using for evaluation / training, though I think umpires receive a CD/DVD right after the game (Or next day?).

I have done a couple of games in a stadium with the PITCHf/x system when it was first veing evaluated. The raw result depends very much on the operator getting the initial settings correct. Results from a game or two is eye opening to say the least!
