The commissioner of the MLB, Rob Manfred, recognized the controversial opinion surrounding the arbitration of the league, in particular the responsibility of the arbitrators remaining a subject of perennial debate. Many and many times, Fans are indignant By what seems to be scandalous calls, while analysts break down each missed strike and how to hold responsible referees.
During an interview with “Siriusxm”, Manfred recognized the public’s desire for a more transparent system but defended the current approach, calling it:
“One of the most ill -understood subjects in baseball.”

He then talked about the authority of the arbitrators:
“We have never published the responsibility of the arbitrators for the simple reason that it undermines their authority on the ground.”
While the details remain private, Rob Manfred said that mechanisms are in place to ensure that the arbitrators are held responsible for their actions. Senior referees undergo two assessments each year. It directly affects their most important assignments: post-season matches. The high notes guarantee invitations to these prestigious occasions, while bad evaluations lead to an after-season lack. To add, the commissioner said:
“Much of their salary depends on the result of these assessments.”
The evaluation is more than a simple classification. Referees that constantly fight in specific areas, such as Pitch recognition or calls from the strike area, receive targeted development programs during the Deadly. The commissioner has also added:
“So you know, it’s a popular thing to say that they are not responsible. They are not sent to minor leagues in the same way as players do, but they are responsible.”
Commissioner Rob Manfred announced his intention to test the automated ball ball
MLB approaches the introduction of robot referees in the regular season. Commissioner Rob Manfred announced its intention to test the automated ball strike (ABS) at a meeting with the Writers ‘baseball’ Association of America on Tuesday.
“I said during the owner’s meeting that we are unlikely that we will bring abs in the big leagues without spring training test,” said Rob Manfred. “OK, so if it is ’24 which leaves me ’25 as the year to do your training test in the spring if we can solve these problems, which would make ’26 a viable possibility.” (H / T Fox Sports)
The MLB has experienced ABS in minor leagues since 2019, but the definition of the striking area remains problematic, although the technology itself is exact. According to the system, a terrain will be classified as a bullet or a striking based on the path of the marble of baseball passage, unlike traditional human interpretation.
The next spring training test will be important to assess the efficiency of the system and observe what fans think. In case of success, robot referee with a challenge system could become a reality in the major baseball league by 2026.
