That's one of the proposed adaptations, but pitchers found the earbud to be distracting. I've read a few recent pieces about exploring a solution for this, but it will be interesting to see how the game changes...
The other related evolution being discussed is electronic ball/strike calls. My son shared a stat with me yesterday that over
34,000 ball/strike calls were erroneous in 2018. By my calculation, that's just under 5% error or about 15 missed ball/strikes per game.
