Good. As long as its used in a way to not slow games down much. I liked the way it was used in conf tourney.

Still needs Oversight Committee approval but I bet that happens. Seems everyone liked it and it exposed the umps quite often.

College baseball umpires are the worst in american sports, narrowly edging out college basketball officials

The SEC did the ABS system during this year’s SEC Tournament with 56.2% of challenges being successful.

Only the pitcher, batter, or catcher can challenge, and it must be immediate.

This will only be available at parks with the appropriate equipment. It is not required for programs to have.

One would think schools will work hard to have tech due to such a high turnover rate.

That can change many game outcomes. However, it ca work both ways so that part will be interesting.

Only problem with ABS in Hoover is that the strike zones was 19in wide on ABS, but home plate is 17 in. The upper and lower boundaries were also expanded vs MLB
