Major League Baseball is leaning toward implementing a challenge system in the majors.
The league's research showed a strong preference for a system built around a set number of challenges per game.
A fully automated strike zone was also being tested at Triple-A since last season .
MLB wants to see if fewer challenges will force teams to be more conservative in using them.
High strikeout totals in MLB aren't coming at the edges of the zone as much as they are in the zone.
In the challenge system, the calls being reviewed are often egregious misses rather than pitches just off the plate.
For younger players, implementing the automated zone would lessen the learning curve in the majors.
