I recently learned that MLB is testing the automated ball strike (ABS) challenge system during spring training this year to determine if this is a system that the league will, after review of its use during the exhibition games, implement as early as next season.
Resolves YES if MLB announces that ABS challenge system will be added for use during regular season and postseason play prior to the start of the 2027 regular season. Resolves NO otherwise.

Update 2025-02-27 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Clarification to Resolution Criteria:
ABS Exclusion in 2025: The ABS challenge system will not be implemented for the 2025 regular season.
