Major League Baseball (MLB) is set to test the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system during spring training games, allowing players to challenge ball-strike calls. This trial aims to gather feedback from both players and fans as the league explores the future of officiating and technology in the sport. While the implementation of robot umpires for regular-season games is not confirmed, the trial period starting with a Cactus League game signifies a significant step towards potential integration.
It’s a good thing they’re not unleashing the robots without getting extensive feedback from the players. And those reviews will be flowing within days.
MLB will give its players a chance to test out the ABS challenge system in games all over Florida and Arizona.
