The Braves just can't beat the bot
View projectFor the Braves Report, I used MLB Stats API game feeds to log every automated ball-strike (ABS) challenge the Braves made early in the 2026 season, noting who challenged, in which inning and whether the call on the field was upheld or overturned. Through 19 games, Atlanta was winning just 1 in 4 ABS batting challenges, a rate that sat dead last in MLB, and the inning-by-inning breakdown shows a team that can't figure out a sweet spot.
