In a recent spring training game, the Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS) demonstrated its potential impact on game outcomes. When New York Yankees player Everson Pereira was initially called out on strikes, a successful challenge turned it into a ball, allowing him to walk. This pivotal moment led to subsequent scoring, including a two-run homer from Spencer Jones. The Blue Jays ultimately won the game 6-4, highlighting both the ABS's influence and its ongoing evaluation during major league trials.
Changing one ball to a strike can completely alter an inning.
The ABS is being tested during major league spring training after years of experiments in the minors.
The timing to challenge a close pitch was there, and obviously, he was right and convicted on it.
