"Moises Ballesteros gets two calls overturned in the same at-bat, including the strikeout pitch for Edward Cabrera. Moises Ballesteros does it again! He went 3-for-3 challenging calls in the second inning. Moises Ballesteros went 3-for-3 on challenges in the 3rd inning today."
"With lots of experience using ABS in the minor leagues, Ballesteros could be a little ahead of the curve on knowing when to challenge and when to keep it in your pocket. There's something worth noting here beyond just the hopes that someday Ballesteros can emerge as a solid part-time catcher which, paired with his bat, would make him extremely valuable."
During spring training against the Brewers, catcher Moises Ballesteros showcased impressive skill using the ABS (Automated Ball Strike) challenge system, successfully overturning multiple calls in consecutive innings. He achieved a perfect 3-for-3 record challenging calls in both the second and third innings, including overturning a strikeout pitch thrown by Edward Cabrera. Ballesteros' success with the challenge system stems from extensive minor league experience with ABS technology, giving him an edge in understanding when to challenge versus when to hold back. This proficiency, combined with his offensive capabilities, positions him as a potentially valuable part-time catcher for the organization.
