Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes is among the players ready for robot umpires in the major leagues.
Hayes, who is hitting .267 with a career-high 13 homers, ended his post by asking MLB to “bring the ABS please,” using the acronym for the Automated Ball-Strike system that’s being used in some minor league games.
The 26-year-old Hayes, the son of longtime major league third baseman Charlie Hayes, declined to discuss the matter before Monday’s game against Washington, saying through a team spokesman that his social media post covered the entirety of his thoughts on the matter. “It’s a very rare situation and he was frustrated, you know?” Pirates manager Derek Shelton said. “Sometimes, I think today, we vent in different ways. Not speaking for him in any way, but the point of the matter is every at-bat is important, every at-bat is crucial. The fact that he has the passion for every single pitch I think is really important.”this year.
