Jimmy Rollins Says that the MLB “never” has to adopt full-time robot-ums … tell TMZ Sports This week is the automated Ball-Strike Challenge system as far as the competition should take things.
We caught up with the former Philadelphia Phillies Superstar just afterwards on Lax last week Rob Manfred Unveiled the ABS -challenging system Will be implemented in 2026 and he told us that he really likes the move.
The ex-World series champion said: “It’s a good thing”, because it will help UMPs to call if they matter the most.
If you have missed it, the new rules can challenge teams two calls per game – and even more if they are successful. Some have wondered whether the competition should ultimately go full -time to the ABS system if it is promising next year.
But Rollins made it clear that he hopes that the use of robots will stop at the moment.
Whether you like it or not, but in just a few months, robots come to a main class diamond in your area.
