Interesting - in cricket there is a similar problem - the umpire has to judge if the ball was going to hit the wicket (similar problem to going 'over the plate'). They brought in a computer review system in and it also increased how often you were out LBW (similar to 'struck out').

"[ the review system ] has increased the bowler’s potential target area by a remarkable 70 per cent" [1]

However, it has improved things because it forced the player to do something rather than block the ball and hope they wouldn't be given out. So, technology helped in this case.
