I don't see pitchers getting onboard with this. Especially how umps "interpret" an outside strike. More times than not the pitcher gets the benefit of the doubt. Arrieta in the Wild Card game comes to mind. He pitched lights out, but he was getting great calls as well.
Also, pitchers will no longer benefit from a good framing catcher, which goes along with what I mentioned above.
I think we'll see a bump in offensive numbers if this would ever go into affect.
