Major League Baseball<\/a> implemented the ABS challenge system<\/a> for the 2026 season, which allows players to challenge a ball or strike call made by the plate umpire. Each team receives two challenges to start the game, and only batters, pitchers and catchers can challenge a call. If a team wins a challenge, it can keep challenging. If a team challenges incorrectly twice, it loses its challenges for the rest of the game.<\/p>\n

Here are the ABS challenge system rankings for batters, pitchers, catchers, teams and umpires for the 2026 MLB season.<\/p>\n

Data updated through Wednesday, April 8.<\/p>\n
