There are things bugging me about the "new" automated strike zone [View all]

Home plate is an irregular pentagon with one 17" front edge, two 8.5" parallel sides, and two 12" diagonals that come together to create a point. The automated strike zone is a two dimensional rectangle 17" wide and a height depending on batter.
Seems to me with processing power what it is these day, the abs should have been a 3 dimensional irregular pentagon with varying height.
