Toronto’s pitching has produced strong strikeout results, aided by opponents rarely challenging borderline called strikes.
Major League Baseball's Joint Competition Committee will meet today to vote on the implementation of the Automated Ball-Strike system for the 2026 season, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports. The 11-person committee - comprised of six owners, four players and one umpire - is expected to approve the ABS system for next year. It'll be a radical shift to the game's identity - one that many fans feel is overdue but many others oppose with fervor.
