MLB used the system in some Arizona Fall League games last year, and now it's coming to the minor leagues.will experiment with a technology system to challenge checked swing calls in the Class A Florida State League starting Tuesday.
Using a Hawk-Eye system, a checked swing call can be challenged by either the team at bat or on defense.The decision will be made based on whether the bat head is ahead of the knob by more than 45 degrees — matching the first-base line for a right-handed hitter and the third-base line for a left-handed hitter. Short of 45 degrees will be called a no swing. A team will be allowed to make a challenge until it has one unsuccessful challenge. A video of the Hawk-Eye determination of the maximum bat angle will be shown on the ballpark video board.The team on defense can still ask the plate umpire to check a non-swing call with the first-base umpire for right-handed batters and third-base ump for left-handed batters without using a challenge.Pete Rose reinstated by MLB and is eligible for Baseball Hall of Famehealth & wellness
