Original: Strike 3 overturned after ABS challenge
A called third strike was overturned after a team challenged the pitch using Major League Baseball's automated ball-strike system, which reviews borderline calls at the plate. The reversal highlights how the ABS challenge system is changing game situations that once ended on an umpire's word alone. It is one of the visible examples of robot-assisted officiating now shaping results in baseball.
