I thought this was interesting, but I don't put any faith in FoxTrax. There was one pitch I saw where from straight ahead they showed it caught the corner, but they showed the overhead view and it was clearly off, no black.

I think the main purpose of the FoxTrax is to try to make umpires look bad.

I trust that system as much as I trust the announcers to get a ruling correct. It happens but not very often.
