Why not just dump Questec and hire former MLB umps to evaluate?
Since their paycheck would be from Mr. Alderson, there would be no doubt as to where their allegiance would be.
SInce they would have worked at that level for several years, they would know a strike when they see it.
The major problem I see with Questec is its setup. It is off-angle, utilizing 2-D looks at a 4-D problem. It does not "see" the whole stike zone but only selected portions of the zone. A pitch can be a ball for the first 57' and then break into the zone and the machine can't follow it. Big problem with that.
Paying former MLB's would probably be cheaper also. Pay them 3/4 of what Questec costs and you should save money and get a better product.
