Zone Evaluation relies on pitch-tracking data already collected at every venue and distributed through MLB.com and iTunes, The Times reported. 反正就是換個新系統嘛。新系統叫做好球帶評估系統。 "It's an upgrade from where we were," Mike Port, baseball's vice president for umpiring, told The Times. "The umpires, they don't want to miss a pitch any more than a batter wants to strike out. Where the Z.E. system will give us a lot of help is more data to help identify any trends: 'The last three plate jobs, you missed seven pitches that were down and in. Here's how one of the supervisors can help you adjust your head angle or your stance to have a better chance of getting those pitches.'" MLB副總裁說裁判也是不想判錯任何球，藉由 ZE 來觀察可以幫忙監控好球帶的 走向，假設過去有三個 PA 有摳錯了七個內角低球，長官就可以出面幫你調一下 ..... The World Umpires Association, the umpires' union, approved the change, Port told The Times. A union spokesman declined to comment to The Times. 副總裁說國際裁判協會以及裁判工會也批准了這個革新。 Port told The Times that Zone Evaluation was more accurate in collecting data. The pitch-tracking software being used was developed by Major League Baseball Advanced Media and Sportvision. It records the ball's position in flight more than 20 times before it reaches home plate. 這個ZE系統據副總裁說是用在資料收集用，資料在事後可以用軟體準確的分析。 （細節略) Port is optimistic about the new system. "I don't think it will be that noticeable because the aspiration of the umpires, as I have come to know it, is they want to do their jobs well," Port told The Times. "This is a tool. Hopefully, it will show just how good they are." 講這麼多 1. 這只是用來給主審研究用的 2. 不是馬上就能判定 --
