Understanding MLB’s new ABS strike zone

The long accepted upper end of the strike zone is two balls above the belt line so Altuve's is close but MLB going with universal percentages instead of actually measuring players is going to mess things up for leggy people like Freddie Freeman

Don't Miss Any of The Action

Science

This gotta be misinformation because this is not fair at all to pitchers

It’s in front of the batters where the back corners of the plate are… not behind them. The ball can cross front of plate high but clip top of zone at back corners. Catching/framing will still be valuable because players won’t challenge unless count is close or really bad call.

So baseball will now be fixed just like the nba and nfl, sports is dead

Was terrified he'd slip off the bucket, frankly.

MLB meddling with rules redefining the strike zone while adding a reasonable rule like challenging Balls and Strikes.

Wouldn’t this encourage players to lie about their height like in the NBA? Are they measuring the players before every year or are they taking the players word for it? If I was Judge or another player I would lie and say I’m a couple inches shorter than I am to get a smaller zone

"He's not going to be a foot of shins" no, but this does promote a very funny image of Judge in the batting box being all shins.

Love seeing everyone argue about the strike zone when we all know the zone is what the ump wants it to be lmao
