COMING SOON: The Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System (ABS) presented by T-Mobile will be used during Spring Training games for the first time ever. ABS has been tested in the minor leagues since 2021, and 2025 will be the first test with the Major League players. About 60% of 2025 Spring Training games will be played using the ABS Challenge system. The ABS system uses a set of cameras around the field to track the pitch location and allows players on the field to challenge an umpire’s ball-strike call. ABS Challenge Rules: - Each team starts the game with two challenges. - Only the batter, the pitcher, or the catcher can challenge an umpire’s call. - A challenge must be made immediately after the umpire’s call without assistance from the dugout or other players. - A scoreboard graphic will show the location of the pitch and the result of the challenge. - Successful challenges are retained – you only lose your challenge if the umpire’s call is confirmed.

The umpire thought the catcher wanted to challenge the call when he asked if it was a strike. Umpire announced a challenge and canceled it on the mic immediately afterwards while saying “crowd is too loud.” Chicago is a baseball city.

Trout's ABS challenge not allowed. Trout thought the pitch was originally called a ball by the home plate umpire (even though it ended up being called a strike)...which is why he didn't challenge right away. You can hear something before "strike." What do you think?
