As we dive into the 2025 season, the introduction of Automated Ball Strike (ABS) challenges is stirring up quite the conversation among baseball enthusiasts. Tom Tango's recent analysis reveals that both offense and defense are slightly more accurate than inaccurate when it comes to these challenges, with an expected increase in challenge frequency as the season progresses.
This raises some intriguing questions: How do you think the implementation of ABS challenges will impact the overall game? Will we see a significant shift in player strategies, particularly for hitters known for their keen eye, like Juan Soto? Could this technology lead to a more balanced game, or will it create new controversies and debates over calls?
Moreover, as the recognition model for umpires improves, will we see a decline in the infamous bad call moments that have historically sparked outrage among fans and players alike? Or do you believe that human error will always be a part of the game, regardless of technological advancements?
Let’s not forget the potential for bold predictions! Will we see a player break the 75% accuracy mark in challenges this season? And how might this affect their value in fantasy leagues?
