Stolen Base Records Will Be Broken This Year + ABS Debate

Listen Later

We debate whether ABS (automated ball-strike system) is finally going to fix what's broken behind the plate. Plus, a bold prediction: stolen base records are coming this season, and AI might be why.

Topics covered this week:

  • The ABS debate: the case for removing umpires from ball-strike calls entirely
  • The strange logistics of measuring players standing straight up for the strike zone
  • Who should hold the challenge - catchers, hitters, or nobody?
  • Why AI pitch-tipping is about to cause a stolen base explosion
  • The return of contact hitting and small ball as the counter-trend to three-outcome baseball
  • Mid-at-bat pitcher switches: underused strategic weapon or gimmick?

    • Leave us a rating and review - it helps the show grow.
