Original: Realmuto makes postseason history with 1st game-ending ABS challenge
Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto became the first player to win a game-ending challenge under Major League Baseball's automated ball-strike (ABS) system in the postseason. The successful challenge in the playoffs marked a milestone for the new technology, as teams and fans weigh how robo-assisted calls are changing late-inning drama.
