Strike 2 confirmed after ABS challenge
Umpires confirmed a strike two call after a manager challenged it under Major League Baseball's automated ball-strike system, with review showing the pitch caught the zone. The ruling allowed play to continue without the call being overturned. It is another example of the ABS challenge process being used in games, a system MLB has been introducing to reduce missed ball-strike calls and add accountability to home plate officiating.
Why now: MLB's automated ball-strike challenge system is new, so each reviewed call draws attention to how it works in practice
