Umpire's Ball Call Overturned to Strike After ABS Challenge
Original: Ball 1 is overturned to Strike 1 after ABS challenge
Major League Baseball's automated ball-strike system was used to overturn a home plate umpire's call, turning a ball into a strike after a challenge. It is a high-profile example of the ABS challenge system in action, and people are debating whether robot-assisted officiating is improving or hurting the game.
Why now: Automated ball-strike challenges are new in MLB and each high-profile overturn sparks debate about the technology.
