The robot-umpire system for overturning ball/strike calls is going to be used in regular-season games in the majors this year. The abbreviation for the setup is ABS, but the most important letters when it comes to the change just might be S-I-Z-E — as in the strike zone for some of the game’s tallest players. The top and the bottom of the strike zone for baseball’s biggest giants have long been two difficult areas for umpires. But the ABS system provides an opportunity for a closer look. San Francisco Giants rookie Bryce Eldridge, a 6-foot-7 slugger who got to use ABS in the minors, says he thinks it’s great for the game.
