Sugar Land's Constellation Field is one of a few Triple-A parks to work in challenges, though, the club's manager described it "like pulling a slot machine.""We leave the game the way it was, and the umpires make the calls," Sugar Land Space Cowboys manager Mickey Storey explained. "But we get to decide if he's wrong."
But late last month, Sugar Land's Constellation Field, home of the top minor league affiliate of the Houston Astros, became one of a select few Triple-A ballparks to begin using the ABS challenge system. A source with knowledge of the situation tells ABC13 the shift is not because the full ABS System was unsuccessful. This is said to be the latest test in technology.
But Storey is not part of that gamble. Only the pitcher, catcher and batter may challenge the ball/strike call. If the call is overturned, the team retains its challenge to use later in the game.
