Few player have a harder time dealing with an inconsistent strike zone than Aaron Judge. The New York Yankees outfielder is a 6'7″ behemoth of a man that towers over the catcher and umpires, which makes calling balls and strikes against him that much more difficult.

In truth, Aaron Judge really does get the short end of the stick when it comes to an expanding strike zone. The Yankees slugger has been penalized on low strikes that would otherwise be easy calls for umpires for more average sized players.

However, when asked about the topic of robot umpires Judge was quick to reiterate – he's not pining to replace the guys making the calls just yet:

“No, I just think we've got to get better. If there's an issue with balls and strikes, just get guys that do a better job calling balls and strikes. I think it's plain and simple like that. I don't think we need to do the automated strike zone. I think the umpires do a great job as it is,” said Aaron Judge.

Given that the MLB is the highest level of baseball played in the world, you'd be hard-pressed to find umpires with more experience or with far more accurate strike zone awareness than the ones currently handling the games today. But Judge also affirmed the most simple argument against robot umpires:

“That's part of the game. It's the human element. So I think you've got to keep the umpires,” he continued.

Aaron Judge maybe losing some calls to a low strike zone, but that doesn't mean the Yankees star is calling for their jobs in return.
