In baseball, calling balls and strikes is a kind of art form. Now, a little more science is being added to the artistry. Major League Baseball has introduced the automated ball-strike, or ABS, challenge system. If a batter, catcher, or pitcher disagrees with the human umpire's call, he can tap his hat. Then, the ABS system uses cameras to say whether the pitch was indeed in the batter's strike zone. Marketplace's Stephanie Hughes spoke with Nola Agha, professor of sports management at the University of San Francisco, to learn more.
Canty and Michelle welcome Seth Greenberg to the show to break down the madness in UConn-Duke and if Michigan-Arizona is the pseudo national championship.

The biggest storyline heading into the 2026 Major League Baseball season was how teams would adapt to and utilize the newly implemented Automated Ball-Strike challenge system. After a weekend's worth of games, it's already making an impact on outcomes, and we couldn't be happier about it. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the instant success that ABS has been, both in terms of its importance in games and for fan entertainment. They dive into early statistics surrounding the challenges, including which catchers are succeeding and why hitters appear to be getting the shorter end of the stick instead of pitchers. We also saw the first ejection associated with ABS—but could more be coming? Later, Jake and Jordan recap every matchup from the weekend, including why Tony Vitello needs to take a breath after his San Francisco Giants got swept by the New York Yankees, the Toronto Blue Jays picking up where they left off after their magical World Series run, and thoughts on Edwin Díaz's entrance with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The guys then discuss the hottest start for the Miami Marlins since 2009, Chase DeLauter's great series against the Seattle Mariners, and a few messy games between the Houston Astros and the Los Angeles Angels. 1:10 - The Opener: Impact of ABS 28:09 - How Sweep It Is: Yankees sweep Giants 36:31 - Dodgers start the season hot 47:03 - Around the League: DeLauter says hello 51:44 - Mets fail to sweep Pirates 55:33 - Turbo Mode: Every series recap Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
