"Full ABS. That is, we have the system, it should just tell the home plate umpire what the correct call is. No need for challenges."
"Challenge system, but with more than two challenges. To differentiate from Option 1, I'm going to assume that anyone selecting this isn't thinking like, '500 challenges lol.' Something somewhat more than two, but not egregious."
"Pre-2026, non-ABS. No ABS at the major league level, no challenges."
A community preference survey is proposed regarding baseball's 2026 transition to an ABS (Automated Ball-Strike) challenge system. Four options are presented for consideration: Option 1 involves full ABS implementation where the system automatically determines correct calls without challenges; Option 2 maintains the current challenge system with two incorrect challenges per team per game; Option 3 expands challenges beyond two but remains moderate; Option 4 rejects ABS entirely, returning to pre-2026 non-automated systems. The post invites community members to share their preferences among these approaches.
