Cubs pitcher challenges umpire's call successfully using new Automated Ball-Strike System in spring training.
Chicago Cubs pitcher Cody Poteet became the first player to use the Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS) during a spring training game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Poteet challenged an umpire's call, which was reversed, changing the count and leading to a strikeout.
The ABS, tested at 13 spring training sites, could be used in regular-season games as early as 2026.
Each team gets two challenges per game with no extra chances in extra innings.
