The Yankees have been struggling in their ability to use the automated ball-strike system (ABS), which allows for the league's best in overturning strikes to balls. However, after a quick start in the season, the team has been struggling, with a success rate of 43.5 percent and a 2-for-13 in nine games. Aaron Boone attributed this to the "ebb and flow" of the new ABS system, but the Yankees have not been particularly sharp at this. The team's overall success rate was 43.3 percent, which was the ninth lowest in the majors. The Yankees lost their fourth consecutive game to the Rays in extras.
