You definitely need the human aspect in the game, but the added technology could be used as a \"backup\" of sorts. Just like Instant Replay.
Maybe something like this. They use this QuesTec, but only as an Instant Replay of sorts. Then when players or managers argue balls and strikes, they could actually go to the system and see what it said.
THAT I would support, without a doubt.
Of course, it would have to be rigged so that the pitch tracking stats could not be manipulated at all during the game by any official. An MLB official, in charge of aligning/calibrating the system, would make sure it was fully operational before every game. This official/technician could also check strike zone calibrations throughout the game as well...
