PORT ST. LUCIE — There was not a better catcher in baseball last season at turning a borderline pitch into a strike than Tomas Nido.
“I’m wondering the same thing,” manager Buck Showalter said Saturday before the Mets beat the Nationals, 4-2, at Clover Park. “On the surface, you think it’s going to completely change the dynamic of the catching position.” “I don’t think it’s that close, we’re still a couple years away,” said Nido, who said he kept an eye on whether pitch-framing would continue through the CBA talks. “And I don’t think [automated strike zones are] going to be as efficient, and I think the pitcher still needs somebody back there that makes them feel good and who they trust.”The robo-ump system first was used in the Atlantic League in 2019.
Nido has put a lot of work into being among the best at an art that may be gone in the coming seasons. Though he said is “not necessarily against” robot umpires, he thinks hitters who crave the automated zone should not be overly excited. The 27-year-old cited instances in which pitchers miss spots but still accidentally find the strike zone.
