First ABS challenge at Yankee Stadium
The first ABS challenge at Yankee Stadium happened during the Yankees’ first at-bat.
Marlins catcher Liam Hicks challenged a ball that made the count 3-and-1 in Trent Grisham’s at-bat.
The call was upheld, much to the delight of the crowd in the Bronx, as the new video board showed that the pitch was 0.2 inches above the strike zone. Grisham walked on the next pitch, and Aaron Judge drove him in with a two-run homer, his third of the season.
