The Seattle Mariners manager, Mike Raleigh, has expressed regret over not challenging a pivotal strike by lefty Erik Sabrowski during a game against Cleveland, stating that he should have done so. The team's new ABS system, which allows for challenges in ball and strike situations, has been implemented by the Mariners and allows for players to be more cautious about challenging balls and strikes. However, manager Dan Wilson emphasised that every hitter has the green light to leverage these situations. The Mariners have implemented a loose policy for pitchers to not challenge balls and strike calls, leaving this decision up to Raleigh and Mitch Garver.
