Description
Major League Baseball introduces a new automatic ball-strike challenge system in 2026, using Hawk-Eye cameras to track pitches and check them against the batters strike zone. Teams start with two challenges, with the home plate umpire calling them out. The system aims to reduce errors without slowing down games, with extra rules for late innings. The Mets, led by manager Carlos Mendoza, plan to challenge aggressively, while star hitter Juan Soto expects the system to change the game feel, especially in playoffs.
