Safe or Out: Instant Replay in MLB Now that on the last play of the game there are already two outs, there is a player on third base, the batter hits the ball with all his might, the third baseman is trying to get to home plate as quickly as possible. The right fielder then throws the ball into the catcher's glove, the catcher touches the runner and... "YOU'RE OUT!" The game is over. Even though everyone in the stadium and those watching the game live on TV knew the runner was safe, he's still out and the game is over. Now this could have been the winning streak, but because of the missed call, the entire season had gone on in vain. This issue could have easily been debated or resolved with the implication of instant playback. Instant replay should be implemented in baseball to help uncover any questionable plays in baseball. In the world of baseball there is always a topic that raises everyone's opinion; Should Major League Baseball take advantage of instant replay to review all close calls made by umpires? The use of Instant Replay is already used in baseball, however only to a limited extent. Under current baseball rules, the only reviews that can be made are those that include home runs, ensuring that the hit was correct, that the ball actually left the field and that no fan interference occurred. There are some baseball fans who believe that as technology continues to advance and is becoming cheaper, there is no reason not to implement the use of instant replay in Major League Baseball. There are also those who still argue that baseball needs to maintain the "human element" of its system and are starting to worry that instant replay would cause the... middle of the paper... call to get it correct. This will decrease the number of arguments between managers and referees, which means fewer managers being sent off. Some are also against instant replay because they appreciate the beauty of the "human element" in baseball, where calls are made by umpires who "call it like them". look at it." Using instant replays in these situations will not completely eliminate this element from the game. Umpires would still have the sole say in ball-strike calls. Instant replay will clean up the game of baseball. Expand its use to include calls such as safe or out, fair or foul, and whether or not a catch was made will ensure that games are not decided by a questionable call, improve the image of the league, and hold officials accountable for the calls they make , all without making the game too long or taking away the human element.
