Maybe, but it still works on the umps...who are only human BTW.
Just check any random Aaron Judge at bat during these playoffs.
Not saying that umps have it out for him...just that it's hard to "judge" a strike zone on somebody that massive, who has that good an eye on the zone. Especially if you don't regularly call his games.
If they ever go to a robotic strike zone while he's still in his healthy prime, he's going to have one hell of a season.
