     • OK, no, it’s not. MLB has been tinkering with how wide the zone should be since it first brought robot umps into our lives. It started at 17 inches wide when ABS debuted in the independent Atlantic League in 2019. MLB then widened it to 19 inches two years ago when ABS debuted in the Florida State League. Now it’s back to 17 inches in Triple A.
