Catchers Rewriting the Rules
Description
MLB’s automated ball and strike system is halfway through its debut season—and early results are thrilling. The tech is boosting accuracy, turning pitch challenges into high-stakes drama fans can’t look away from. The Cincinnati Reds lead the league with a 72% catcher challenge success rate, while the Pittsburgh Pirates struggle mightily, ranking near the bottom in both attempts and success. Milwaukee’s William Contreras is dominating the challenge scene, launching more challenges than anyone and converting over half. Meanwhile, Chicago’s Edgar Quero is getting challenged often but rarely winning—raising questions about his strategy.
