Contreras challenge overturns strike three via ABS
Original: Strike 3 is overturned after Contreras' ABS challenge
St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras successfully challenged a called strike three using MLB's Automated Ball-Strike system, and the call was overturned. It is a notable early example of the ABS challenge system changing a strikeout in a game, drawing attention to how robot umpiring is affecting baseball.
Why now: It is a high-profile example of MLB's new automated ball-strike challenge system overturning a strikeout call.
