Strike call upheld in MLB's automated ball-strike challenge
Original: Strike 1 is upheld after ABS challenge
In a game using MLB's automated ball-strike system, a batter challenged a called first strike, but the ruling was upheld after review. The challenge system, being used at the top level, allows players to contest ball-strike calls, with cameras determining whether the pitch crossed the zone. The incident is drawing attention as baseball rolls out robo-ump technology.
Why now: MLB is introducing the automated ball-strike challenge system, and each contested call is being closely scrutinised by fans.
