Pitch framing king Tomas Nido talks about automated ball and strike recognition, and how that might change the value of his skill. He indirectly makes a point about how pitch execution might override pitch location:

“I don’t think it’s going to benefit the hitter as much as hitters think,” Nido said. “We’re going to see when [catchers] set up down and away and the pitcher misses up and in, and it clips that corner, it’s a ball.

“But [with an automated zone] it’s a strike because even though he missed his spot, it hit the automated strike zone. They’re not going to like that.”

I suspect most batter complaints come from the opposite, when the pitcher hits his spot but misses the strike zone and gets a strike. As a hitter, I would take the trade-off. Of course, if umpires called the location and not the execution, no one would be clamoring for robot umpires.
