The Diamondbacks' stadium renovation plans pose a larger challenge than expected.

The scoreboard at LECOM Park displays a screen from the ABS challenge system, indicating that a called strike was actually a ball, 1.4” below the strick zone. Major League Baseball is testing an Automated Ball-Stike (ABS) challenge system at select spring training parks. The system allows players to challenge a limited number of ball/stike calls during a game. Calls can be overturned if the pitch tracking technology shows an umpire got a call wrong.
