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!

It probably is wishful thinking, but it would be an excellent internal training tool...coaches and fans though, at anything below The Show would be dumb.
