The Cincinnati Reds are making waves this spring training with manager Terry Francona's bold decision to forgo the new Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS). While other teams are experimenting with this technology, Francona believes it’s pointless to train players on a system that won’t be used in the regular season. This raises some intriguing questions about the future of technology in baseball and how teams prepare for the season.
Is Francona's approach a breath of fresh air or a missed opportunity? On one hand, he’s prioritizing the team's readiness for the actual games that matter. On the other, could this decision hinder the players' adaptability to future changes in the game?
Let’s dive deeper into this. How do you feel about the introduction of technology like the ABS in baseball? Is it a necessary evolution of the game, or does it take away from the human element that makes baseball so unique?
Moreover, with Francona at the helm, what are your predictions for the Reds this season? Can he turn the team around after a mediocre finish last year?
