You Call That a Strike?!Why does Major League Baseball use an outdated, misleading camera angle to show the batter and pitcher?

I remember watching a baseball game back when ESPN used the center camera and being completely enthralled. The ball movement was just a lot clearer, especially the up and down movement. I told my friends how incredible the angle was and never saw it used in another game. All my friends thought I was crazy; I wasn't crazy. Thanks Slate.

The baseball games I have seen use a behind the plate dead center camera which they use to see if a ball crossed the plate or not. The problem is that the camera is lined up with the middle of the plate and it makes pitches look outside when they are not. I'd like to see two cameras behind the plate with one on each edge of the plate. For the center field camera, I do prefer the offset camera in center field, but that is probably just because that is what I'm used to.
