Umpire's strike call overturned after ABS challenge
Original: Strike 1 overturned after ABS challenge
A first strike call was overturned after a challenge under MLB's automated ball-strike (ABS) system, which allows players to contest ball and strike rulings. The replay of the automated review confirmed the call on the field was wrong, flipping the pitch to a ball. It is an early example of how the new challenge system is changing game management and officiating debates.
