Gadgetell Behind the Scenes: Technology used in MLB’s Instant Replay
As technology gets more and more advanced everyday, it is no surprise that we often find new technology being used in places we often wouldn’t have imagined a few years ago. Baseball is a professional sport in which there was limited technology used in the past. However, just as everything changes over time, so has baseball.
Many professional sports leagues, such as the NBA, NFL, and NHL, have already adopted the use of Instant Replay. Yet, baseball failed to incorporate this technology into everyday use, until recently. As of now, it is only used to find out whether a home run is, in fact, a home run, or if it should be a double or a foul ball. A home run call that was ruled incorrectly by an umpire can ultimately change an inning, game, series, or a season. Such an effect has led Commissioner Bud Selig to introduce Instant Replay to MLB.
