No way does that change the amount of .300 hitters materially. The problem with BA in 2025 is about hitter approach. There are only 7 hitters above .300 in '25. In '17, there were 25 hitters over .300. That's almost a 75% decrease in under 10 years.
Umps are fine with AAA system. If they aren't ok with full robo and would strike against it, then no full robo or there would need to be concessions from ownership. I support the union. It's just a hypothetical. My only point is that the public would be more supportive of umpires in the event of a strike/lockout than moon believes. Seemed like a straightforward argument to me.
I'm fine with the AAA challenge system or full robo k zone. I'm not fine with umps going on strike and the public wouldn't be either. I simply gave a real life example of the public showing support to the typically hated NFL referees 10+ years ago. If something similar happened in MLB, we'd see the same fallout IMO.
