MLB's outdated, misleading offset camera angle

slate.com — Only three telecasts in Major League Baseball place the main camera directly behind the pitcher in straightaway center field. The other 27 clubs put the camera off-center, about 10 to 15 degrees toward left field. That offset angle means the vast majority of baseball fans get a skewed sense of the pitcher-hitter confrontation.

  • drivesmith, on 06/25/2009, -2/+0Good article, I learned something new. Please do an analysis of the impact of the pitch tracker system. I think it makes the umpires look ridiculous, and if MLB is going to use it, and thus show how wrong the umps often are, they should just go to an computerized balls and strikes system, and eliminate the wrong calls. It's really frustrating as a fan to see all the missed calls. Use the umps for HBP, fouls, calls at the plate, etc.
