It appears that the automated strike-zone will be here as soon as 2021, with testing in the minors this year. I'm sure everyone will like the consistency, but catchers will lose one of their skills -- pitch framing.
I like the idea and hope it works out well. It might even speed up the game a little bit, as the pitcher will throw the pitch and the catcher will return it immediately, rather than "framing" the pitch.
