The biggest problem I would have with it as an umpire is that not all the balls that hit the mat are really strikes!!
A guy who is 6'6 doesn't have the same strike zone as a guy that is 5'6. Using the mat says that they do.
As an umpire that is my biggest pet peeve. I cannot stand umps that call pitches by where they land and not where they cross.
The biggest thing I hear is that it cuts out the arguing. Why don't we just mark the whole field. Anything here is a double, anything here is an out, anything here is a triple. Then we would really cut down on the arguing.
