Red Sox focus on refining approach to ABS challenges during pre-game work

The Boston Red Sox dedicated pre-game time to improving their approach to Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenges on June 4. Interim manager Chad Tracy led sessions with catchers and hitters to enhance their efficiency in overturning calls, as the team's success rate on challenges has been low this season, ranking near the bottom of Major League Baseball. They are currently looking to identify specific strike zones for individual players to improve their challenge rate. Tracy noted the need for better timing in challenges and highlighted recent improvements in their approach after a successful series in Cleveland.
