The introduction of MLB’s Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System in 2026 is poised to reshape how catchers are evaluated, and that shift could be a positive development for the White Sox tandem of Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero.
Beginning next season, Major League Baseball will implement the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) Challenge System across the regular season and postseason.
Each team will receive two challenges per game, with the ability to keep them if successful.
