"This season Major League Baseball is allowing its officiating crews to use instant replay to review certain critical calls, including home runs, force plays and foul balls." A study of 700,000 pitches thrown during the 2008 and 2009 seasons revealed that "about 14 percent of non-swinging pitches were called erroneously."
