Major League Baseball has introduced the Automatic Ball-Strike (ABS) system, developed with T-Mobile, to review close pitch calls in real time using 5G and Hawk-Eye cameras. The system, now in 29 US stadiums, allows players to challenge umpire calls by tapping their helmets, triggering an instant review displayed on the big screen within about 15 seconds. ABS aims to improve call accuracy and fan engagement by showing precise pitch animations, with 53% of challenges overturning initial calls this season. While some purists worry about technology's impact, surveys show 91% of fans feel ABS enhances the game experience, adding a new strategic layer to baseball.
