They had roboumps in the Florida State League this year. Watched about 25-30 games with it. You honestly don't even know it's going on unless they tell you. The ump still signals the calls like he's the one actually making them. He has an earpiece that immediately gives him the call and he signals it. I guarantee that at least 90% of the people watching the game had no clue roboumps were being used.
