You're going to be very disappointed when it does come.

The box on the broadcast is NOT the actual strikezone. It's the broadcast's rough approximation of the strikezone.

So you're going to see pitches that the broadcast box says is a ball but is called a strike, and then they're going to challenge it and the robot looking at the actual strikezone (which only needs a fraction of an inch to TOUCH the outside line to be a strike) will confirm it.
