Major League Baseball will experiment with the strike zone challenge system at the game\'s highest level during spring training in 2025.
\"There\'s going to be a test at the Major League level during spring training next year,\" commissioner Rob Manfred told the YES Network. \"We\'re going to test the challenge system with big-league players.\"
There was no indication of future plans beyond spring training.
The challenge system differs from the automated ball-strike system and serves as something of a compromise between full automation and the current human approach.
Under the challenge system, each team is afforded three contested calls per game that are quickly checked against technology.
