Jazz Chisholm Wins ABS Challenge, Immediately Gets Picked Off
Jazz Chisholm's endless adventure whenever ABS is involved added another chapter for the New York Yankees.
Jazz Chisholm, the New York Yankees second baseman, recently faced a setback after successfully challenging a ball under the new automated ball-strike system. Despite the replay confirming Seranthony Dominguez's pitch missed the zone by two-tenths of an inch, Chisholm was immediately picked off first base. This incident occurred in the eighth inning of the Yankees' 4-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners.
Chisholm's struggles with the ABS challenge system are well-documented, as he has lost 14 out of his 22 challenges this season, resulting in a 64% failure rate. The baseball analyst notes that Chisholm's failure rate is a cause for concern, as he has a .297 on-base percentage, which is dragging down the Yankees' lineup that ranks 24th in MLB in getting on base.
Despite this, the Yankees cannot ignore Chisholm's potential, as he was a 4.1 WAR player last season, considered their most valuable position player outside of Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger.
