MLB is testing the Automatic Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system during Spring Training after previously implementing it in the Minor Leagues. The system enables players to challenge ball and strike calls using Hawk-Eye technology, which tracks the pitch location relative to the strike zone. Players like Max Muncy have shown interest, recognizing both the innovation and its current limitations. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts sees potential in the system, particularly for critical calls, highlighting its ability to improve accuracy in officiating during games.
"It's interesting. I don't hate the idea of it," Muncy said of the ABS challenge system. "The technology, I think they'll admit, is not entirely there yet, but it's a cool idea."
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed uncertainty about the challenge system but acknowledged its positives: "I think it's actually a pretty good system. You want to get the call right."
