Puristi baseball look at the view – the human element is slowly Remove from the game.
Baseball Major League Automated ball challenge system (ABS) for the first time this spring; It was examined in smaller leagues since 2021.
Well, spring training games officially started on Thursday, as Chicago Cubs visited Los Angeles Dodgers in the cactus league in Arizona – and it didn’t take long for ABS to take effect.

On his own seventh terrain, Chicago Kody Pouring threw a 95 mph lowest ball and up to Max Muncy, and originally his name was the ball.
The right back did not agree with the call and immediately touched his hat twice, which is considered to be a fan of red challenges for throwers and dough when they want a call to get another view.
Certainly, Potoet’s instincts were accurate, and the call was canceled, which made up counting 0-2 instead of 1-1.

Aaron Judge is open to play 2026. World Baseball Classic: ‘We need to beat it’
The whole torture lasted 25 seconds, and the game is ongoing shortly after. The average ABS Challenge in a minor lasted 17 seconds, so this should not affect the pace of the game, which has increased significantly due to changes in the rules of the commissioner of Rob Manfred.
Manfred said last year that the 2026 season “is a sustainable option” for implementing the system full time.
This spring, teams will get two challenges per game, but they can retain any challenge. Just a dough, a thrower or a catcher can cause a call, and it must be immediately after a call without the help of a bench or other players.

This is another big change in sports ordered by Manfred, who implemented the timer, larger base and shift restrictions in 2023. However, fans look like change, as attendance increases in each of the last two years.
