Dave Roberts: Dodgers ‘Have To Get Better’ At ABS Challenges

The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the midst of their second Cactus League season with the Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System. The ABS Challenge System was introduced last year, but was limited to Spring Training only in the Majors.

The 2026 regular season will be the first with the system fully integrated, but the Dodgers have a long way to go before they can effectively use it to their advantage.

The team has struggled with its judgment on both sides of the ball, going 3-14 on challenges overall entering Saturday’s game. The Dodgers did get one to go their way on Saturday, but they rank last in success rate on challenges.
