Keith Hernandez, nearing 73, bespectacled, and sometimes (oftentimes) not fully attentive, has put on a season-long clinic in strike zone observation in this, the first year of MLB ABS challenges.  He has predicted the outcome of what seems to be a minimum 90% of ball-strike challenges, despite (a) making his calls instantly, without the benefit of a replay, and (b) not having the batter's box superimposed on the screen, like we usually do.

Granted, I'm taking Gary Cohen's word on (b), and also, Gary hasn't insisted that to be the case in quite a while.  Under any circumstances, the performance is impressive, and details only change the degree.

A side benefit is the novelty value of predicting these outcomes has kept Keith more engaged than he has been in a few years, when his restless mind and native boredom has allowed his focus to wander.

At any rate, how do we monetize this?  Is there a "prediction marketplace" where we can put a bundle on Keith?
