ESPN missed the boat and decided to go “Plan B” and implement K-Zone Live for every pitch for all its Major League Baseball coverage in 2015. The live pitch-tracking graphic that is shown over the plate has upset baseball fans.
Fans, media members and baseball purists jumped on the interwebs to tweet out their displeasure with ESPN’s K-Zone.
It only makes sense in video games, ESPN. Also your “new toy” K-zone isn’t new. This game is from 1997.

Waited 5 month 4 , just for it to be ruined by . Could be my first and last Sunday night game of the season.

keep up with this dumb and see how many fans turn the game off. So stupid

PLEASE get rid of the “live K-Zone.” It’s distracting and inaccurate. Is it really too much to just let me watch the game?

Thank you for ruining yet another tv viewing experience by making baseball into a video game. Your “journalists” are bad enough

New k zone on ESPN is way off. I understand it’s where it crosses the plate, but the ball doesn’t break THAT much

.‘s K-Zone Live is so bad. Did we not learn from what Fox did with the glowing puck?

And here a tweet that I had to include from former Rockies pitcher Brett Anderson.
Wrigley taking a note from the Oakland Coliseum…when in doubt put some tarps up and pretend it’s not there.
