I also understand that not too far in the future implants will be embedded into each palyer for purposes of defining an electronic strike zone field. (ESZF) (Im am only acronizing because it the new and improved way.)
When the ball touches the established electronic field that is defined by each player and electronic sensors placed at the ends of the plate, the RED light on top of the HPUS's beanie will go off, similar to NHL goal device.
Sorry guys the BEANIE is back.
Ball, strike arguments will be enhanced, (strictly for entertainment purposes) to best of three arm-wrestling matches in between innings.
Oh and most importantly, all umpires will wear PINK shirts because our supervisors will all be woman by then and, well, they show up better on TV. Why Not???????

It is glaringly obvious from your comments why you would not want any evaluation process at all. You favor calling pitches in the other batter's box a strike.
I am in favor of any evaluation of my umpiring that would help me do a better job. I have not done College in a while and never did Div I so, I doubt that I will be seeing any cameras personally but, it is possible that they might help...no way of knowing unless it is tried.
