MLB Is Considering An Expansion Of Instant Replay

However, Joe Torre, MLB’s executive vice president for baseball operations, said that Selig was talking about expanding replay to only “fair-foul, trap plays.” Hey, at least it’s some progress towards total instant replay!

MLB actually messed around with Hawk-Eye animation systems late this year at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field. Hawk-Eye animation systems are used to judge really close line calls in tennis matches. I honestly don’t see baseball adopting this system, though. Tennis courts are much smaller and have totally different dimensions than a baseball field. I don’t see it working out, but anything’s possible.
