Strike call overturned after automated challenge system review
Original: Strike 1 overturned after ABS challenge
A strike call was reversed after a team used Major League Baseball's automated ball-strike system to challenge it. The ABS challenge, now part of MLB's trial of robot umpiring, let the field umpire's strike-one ruling be checked and overturned by the automated review. The moment is fueling wider debate about how technology is reshaping officiating in baseball.
Why now: MLB's automated ball-strike challenge system is new and fans are closely watching how it changes umpiring decisions
