In order to increase accuracy baseball strike zones should be electronically monitored. Perhaps motion sensors, lasers and optics combined in various ways could adjust from batter to batter and present an accurate picture of where the strike zone is defined.
With tech strike zones, pitchers could be rated for speed, accuracy and e.r.a. completely objectively. The technical improvement would be significant and allow meaningful comparisons of baseball's great pitchers from one generation to the next. Each pitch thrown would be recorded accurately for history, and for the good of batters too that are skilled at taking pitches in order to get a free walk to first base.
In the course of a baseball game the scoreboard should have a new field that presents the pitcher's in-game live accuracy and speed. The e.r.a. kind of speaks for itself.
