MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred told ESPN that robot umpires âwill likely be introducedâ in 2024.
Frustration around umpiresâ accuracy has grown every year, leading fans to call for an automated system.
Manfred reportedly refused to grade MLB umpiresâ performance this season and says the robots shouldnât be seen as an indictment of their abilities.
The system could call every pitch and transmit the info to the home plate umpire through an earpiece, or be used as a review system for balls and strikes.
