The strike zone change expected in MLB broadcasts with ABS system’s implementation

Major League Baseball is being extra cautious with the new Automated Ball Strike Challenge System going into effect this season. The Chicago Sun-Times reported last week that MLB broadcasts will not show whether a pitch is a ball or a strike on the on-screen strike zone in an effort to make sure no one can exploit the ABS system through on-air broadcast.   However, in theory, that would have already been hard to do, and the change is one that likely would have gone unnoticed by viewers at home.
