Until the day they release the flying cars and automated strike zones*, a catcher who receives the ball the right way is going to be more valuable than those that do not. Like it, lump it, make your mind up to it because it's here to stay. 

 

*Baseball Prospectus today just published a detailed look at why this is too complicated to roll out any time soon. https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/37347/robo-strike-zone-not-simple-think/

What this article fails to discuss is the actual accuracy of automated systems vs accuracy of MLB umpires. I don't have a citation off the top of my head but I have read previously on this site that the automated systems, while far from perfect, have a higher percentage of correct calls than umpires.
