My producer, David Korn, wrote about some of the most underrated moves from this offseason that you may have forgotten about.
STAT OF THE WEEK - ABS Challenges
Challenge rate is “rate of challenges out of challengeable pitches,” defined as bad outcome non-swings with challenges remaining. (So, called balls against pitchers/catchers; called strikes against batters.)
Expected challenges are based on a model that includes pitch location, number of remaining challenges, runners on, and ball/strike/out situation.
Using that model, we can compare actual challenges vs. expected challenges and also actual overturns vs. expected overturns, converted into a single outcome. One of the best AAA challengers in 2025, Jamie Westbrook, won +5.4 more challenges than expected and lost -2.7 fewer than expected (when fielders challenged him), resulting in +8.1 overturns vs. expected, an excellent mark.
