The 2026 MLB season introduces the ABS challenge system, empowering batters, pitchers, and catchers to contest ball or strike calls from the plate umpire. Each team gets two challenges per game. Misuse of both challenges results in the loss of any further opportunities. Efficiency rankings for teams and players are now available. Data is current through games played on Monday, March 30th.
Stay tuned for updates on who’s leading in the challenge game—check the performance of batters, catchers, pitchers, and teams. Umpire stats also feature in the ongoing tracker. The new system aims to enhance fairness and accuracy in the game. Keep an eye on how these challenges impact outcomes as the season progresses.
