ABS challenge overturns ball four to strike one
Original: Ball 4 is overturned to strike 1 after ABS challenge
An automated ball-strike challenge in Major League Baseball changed a call from ball four to strike one, flipping the outcome of the at-bat. It is a clear example of the ABS system altering a plate appearance in real time, and a talking point as the technology expands through the league and fans debate whether robot umps are improving accuracy or changing the game's feel.
Why now: The automated ball-strike challenge system is new in MLB and each overturned call fuels debate about robot umpires.
