Strike call overturned after ABS challenge in MLB game
Original: Strike 1 overturned following ABS challenge
A called strike was overturned following a challenge under Major League Baseball's automated ball-strike system. The ABS system, now used by MLB to review ball and strike calls, allowed the call to be corrected on review, with the pitch ruled outside the zone. Fans are weighing in on how the new challenge process is changing umpiring and the pace of games.
Why now: MLB is phasing in the automated ball-strike challenge system, so any overturned call draws attention to how it works.
