Episode Details

In a historic first, the Cincinnati Reds used the new automated ball-strike challenge system during their opening day game against the Boston Red Sox. Catcher Tyler Stephenson successfully overturned a strike call, and the Reds manager, Terry Francona, has decided to forgo challenges for the rest of the season. Meanwhile, New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez also had a successful challenge. The system, which uses twelve cameras to track pitches precisely against a player-specific strike zone, could significantly impact close calls throughout the season.
