During a recent game between the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers, catcher Hunter Feduccia successfully challenged two strike calls, revealing flaws in the Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS) used in testing. Grant Taylor, the Sox pitcher, ultimately struck out Feduccia to secure a 5-2 victory. Manager Will Venable expressed concerns about the ABS's execution during critical moments, despite his overall positivity about the challenge system. This spring, MLB is evaluating ABS, tested in the minors since 2021, to assess its potential implementation in major league games.
"Great job by Grant staying with it and staying locked in. This was the first time I didn't love something about the ABS system, it just didn't feel right."
