Patrick Bailey (C - CLE)
6/6/26 2:03 PM - [NBC Sports Bay Area] - How Giants, Athletics are faring in ABS challenge success rate among MLB teams. The addition of the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system has been a major storyline for the 2026 MLB season. Reviews have been largely positive, but it has been a as they learn to best utilize the new rules. A little over a third of the way through the regular season, let’s check in on how the Giants and Athletics are faring with their ABS challenges compared to other organizations. On one hand, the Giants haven’t been particularly effective contesting balls and strikes. Their 25th of 30 teams entering Saturday, June 6; the . Breaking it up by situation, San Francisco is right in the middle of the pack in successful challenges by batters at 46.8 percent (14th, league average is 46.7 percent). But with the Giants as the fielding team — when overturn rates typically are much higher — they fall to 25th in MLB at 48.4 percent (average is 58.1 percent). Patrick Bailey has been one of the better catchers at ABS challenges with a 60 percent success rate, but he’s now in Cleveland after being The rest of the Giants’ backstops have been successful on just under half of their challenges, and San Francisco pitchers are 0-for-3 on appeals this season. On the hitting side, Bryce Eldridge (4-for-4) and Jung Hoo Lee (4-for-5) have used their challenges well, while Rafael Devers (0-for-5) has not, which coincides with his . The Athletics, meanwhile, definitely have taken advantage of the ABS challenge system, as their 82 successful challenges ranks third in MLB. Their batters have been especially good at challenging, ranking second with a 57.6 percent success rate; as a team, the A’s are ninth in the league with 56.2 percent of their total challenges getting overturned. Nick Kurtz (6-for-7) and Brent Rooker (7-for-9) have been two of the best batters in MLB at challenges. Behind the plate, Shea Langeliers’ 54 percent success rate doesn’t stand out too much, but he’s been very good at getting challenges correct in higher-leverage situations. Among major league catchers, Langeliers has gained 12 strikeouts via challenges (i.e. balls that are overturned to a called strike three), which ranks second, and has eliminated seven walks, which is This challenge went Shea's way ?? — Athletics on NBCS (@NBCSAthletics) Of course, it’s still early June, so things can definitely change throughout the rest of the season. But over two months of sample size feels like a solid indication of teams’ strengths and weaknesses around this key new system.
