It could come more quickly than that, of course, but that timeline would not only line up with the CBA, but it would also give baseball two years to study/improve the system in MiLB first, and would also give the tech two more years to advance.
- The first approach by the league might not be a fully electronic zone, and instead might involve some kind of challenge system – in which case, the value of framing would be reduced, but would not go away entirely.
