Overview
- Chisholm tapped for an Automated Ball-Strike review on a full count in the ninth inning Friday in Houston, and the system showed the pitch was right down the middle.
- YES Network’s Michael Kay and David Cone called it “right down the middle,” and the Houston crowd booed after the ruling flashed on the scoreboard.
- The failed appeal dropped Chisholm to 1-for-6 on ABS challenges this season, a 17% success rate that Fox reports is tied for the lowest among players with at least six attempts.
- Chisholm said he fined himself $1,000 in the Yankees’ clubhouse Kangaroo Court and laughed off the mistake after a night that included three hits, a home run, and four RBIs in a 12-4 win.
- MLB’s ABS uses Hawk‑Eye cameras and a quick tap-to-challenge window with two appeals per team, and early data show roughly half of reviews are overturned as clubs sort out who should trigger them.
