How the ABS Challenge Works
Triggering a Challenge:
When a pitch is called and looks questionable, a prompt appears on-screen. Press Down on the D-Pad immediately—within roughly two seconds of the umpire’s call—to start the review.
The Review Process:
Once triggered, an animated graphic shows the strike zone overlay and the pitch’s location. Even if a tiny part of the ball touches the zone, it counts as a strike. This visual helps you confirm whether the umpire got it right.
Challenge Count:

You start each game with two challenges.
If the call is overturned, you keep your challenge.
If the call stands, you lose one challenge.
In extra innings, teams get one extra challenge at the start of the inning if they have none left.

Availability and Settings
Game Modes:
The ABS system is available in offline modes like Franchise and Road to the Show (RTTS). It is not active in Diamond Dynasty or online Head-to-Head (H2H) games, where umpire accuracy is already set to perfect.
Turning ABS On or Off:
You can toggle the system in the game menu:

Code:
Settings > General > Rules > ABS Challenge System

Pro Tips for Using ABS

Save Challenges for Big Moments: Don’t waste a challenge on early, low-pressure counts. Use them in high-leverage situations like bases loaded or late innings.
Act Fast: The two-second window is strict. Hesitation means losing the chance.
Know the Zone: Remember, ABS uses a precise rectangle strike zone. Even “clipped” pitches can count as strikes.

Mastering ABS lets you take control of close calls, giving you a tactical edge in offline games. Use your challenges wisely, and those tight pitches can swing games in your favor.
