Umpire's strike call overturned after ABS challenge
Original: Strike 1 overturned after ABS challenge
A strike-one call was reversed following a challenge to the Automated Ball-Strike system, with the pitch ruled outside the zone on review. It is one of the early instances of Major League Baseball's ABS challenge system changing a call mid-at-bat, and fans are debating how often the technology should be allowed to overturn human umpires' judgment.
Why now: MLB's new automated ball-strike challenge system is newly in use and each reversal draws attention to how it changes officiating.
