The MLB competition committee has approved the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) Challenge System for the entire 2026 season, allowing each team two challenges per game that can be retained if successful. Challenges must be initiated immediately by a pitcher, catcher, or batter, while 12 Hawk-Eye cameras will track pitch locations to determine strikes, with results displayed within approximately 15 seconds.
