Shiri Bibas’ body not returned to Israel, remains of her 2 kids positively ID’d, IDF say: ‘Serious violation by Hamas’ Cubs pitcher Cody Poteet became the first player in spring training to challenge a call using the new ABS , which is being tested during the Grapefruit and Cactus League seasons.
On an 0-1 pitch to Dodgers infielder Max Muncy in the first inning, home plate umpire Tony Randazzo called a ball, which Poteet didn’t agree with. The ABS Challenge System is in place for spring training, and the Cubs took advantage of it in the first inning vs the Dodgers. ⚾️The ex-Yankees hurler signaled the challenge, and the ABS showed that the pitch was actually a strike, resulting in the Cubs pitcher winning the challenge and a 1-1 count to Muncy instead became an 0-2 count. Roughly 60 percent of spring training games this season will feature the ABS challenge system, which has been tested in the minor leagues since 2021, according to MLB.The system uses Hawk-Eye technology to monitor where the location of the pitch is in relation to the batter’s strike zone.No one else is allowed to challenge a pitch call and teams start with two challenges apiece. about the decision to try the ABS challenge system during spring training. “That we want to get everybody to weigh in on.”In fact, the Mets were toying around with it on Thursday in a video captured by SNY. At one point during live BP, Francisco Lindor successfully challenged a call and jokingly shouted for it to be shown on the video board at Clover Park.The Padres also tested it with starter Yu Darvish throwing live BP.Sportsnet LA
