Los Angeles, CA, August 25, 2026 —
In a recent Los Angeles baseball game, player Mike Yastrzemski was recorded striking out after an Automatic Ball Strike (ABS) challenge was issued. The incident was reported by MLB.com.
The Automatic Ball Strike system is an electronic strike zone that calls balls and strikes. A challenge occurs when a player or manager disputes a called strike or ball, requesting a review of the electronic call.
In this specific instance, Yastrzemski’s at-bat concluded with a strikeout following the ABS challenge. Further details regarding the specific pitch, the count at the time of the challenge, or the outcome of the challenge itself were not provided in the report.
The use of ABS technology in baseball is part of ongoing efforts to increase accuracy and consistency in umpiring decisions. While the system has been implemented in various leagues and levels of play, its application in Major League Baseball games is still under development and review.
This event marks one of the instances where the ABS system has directly influenced the outcome of an at-bat, leading to a strikeout for the batter. The specific game in which this occurred was in Los Angeles.
