I agree. Some networks have shown a 3 dimensional strike zone albeit after a call has been made. It can be done on replay, I don't know if it can be done in real time.

And I would have no problem making the strike zone the same for everyone. The difference between someone that is 6'4" and someone that is 5'8" seems like a lot but the difference from their armpits to the top of their knees is not that much different. Most of the difference in height in humans is in their legs.

I'm not saying that there is no difference but it is small. Why should shorter people be given an advantage> Make it X inches from the plate to whatever height they determine to be fair.
