MLB: Robot home plate umps unlikely for 2025

MLB

NEW YORK — Major League Baseball says robot home plate umpires are unlikely for 2025.

Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said Thursday that there has not been as much progress in the minor leagues this year as MLB had hoped for.

Manfred said that if and when the automatic ball-strike is adopted, it likely would be a challenge system.

Speaking after an owners meeting, Manfred also said Houston; Miami; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Tokyo will be sites for the 2026 World Baseball Classic.

Manfred said a Nike representative “appropriately took responsibility for the issues with respect to the new uniforms and the rollout.”
