Umpire's strike call reversed after ABS challenge
Original: Strike 2 overturned after ABS challenge
A called second strike was overturned after a manager used Major League Baseball's Automated Ball-Strike challenge system, with the review showing the pitch outside the zone. The moment highlights how the ABS system is changing games this season, letting teams contest borderline calls that once stood, and drawing attention to how often umpires' strike-zone decisions are being corrected.
Why now: The automated ball-strike challenge system is new in MLB and every overturned call sparks debate about technology replacing umpires.
