I'm not saying it's wrong all or most of the time, but it appears some graphics guy is doing it manually.

I've seen some pitch locations that cannot be correct.

I hadn't thought of that, but it definitely looked like that the other night. Pitches would be at our batters' ankles and the strike circle would miraculously show up a second later on the bottom edge of the box.

It's hard from our angle on the TV to know where it cross the batter at

It's hard, but I have been doing it literally my entire life. I manually take score during games, and I am about 95% accurate on my ball/strike calls before the umpire makes a peep.

That one wasnt hard. The ball was pulled up from the ankles. whomever the monkey is on the graphics showed it up against the strike zone.

I have never seen so many pitches just above the ankles called strikes in my life like I have at this CWS. And yes, a lot of the time the strike zone graphic is misplaced.

I also thought some of the pitches didn't match up in the games especially the low strikes. MLB K-zone is absolutely flawless with the pitch location. Clearly CWS uses some other method.
