Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes pleaded with Major League Baseball on Sunday to institute the automated ball-strike system after an obvious missed call and a subsequent conversation with the umpire.
The call took place during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves, with home plate umpire Bill Miller calling a strike on a pitch shown to be well outside the strike zone as Hayes was starting toward first base after flipping his bat back for what he thought was a walk.
After chatting with Muller as he went back to retrieve his bat, Hayes struck out on the next pitch.
