Major League Baseball sent a memo to farm directors indicating that beginning on June 25, all Triple-A games will use the automated ball-strike (ABS) challenge system as opposed to full ABS.
The move is another indication that the league is inching toward implementing the ABS challenge system at the major league level, though commissioner Rob Manfred has said that move is still at least another season away from happening.
The difference between the full ABS system and the ABS challenge system comes down to whether or not the human umpire has any say over balls and strikes.
