Show Notes
Major League Baseball teams, including the Miami Marlins, are preparing for the new Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System. This system, powered by T-Mobile, allows each team to challenge umpire calls on pitches twice per game. The Marlins, focusing on catchers for defensive challenges, achieved a 67% success rate in spring training. They used tools like Hawkeye for training, improving decision-making skills and spotting patterns in umpire calls. Hitters followed strict rules for challenges, succeeding 48% of the time. The system, combining old-school umpiring with tech precision, aims to provide fairer calls across the league.
