“The previous rules changes that have been adopted by the joint competition committee have been suspended and created a momentum for the game,” he said in a statement. “We used the same process with ABS which started listening to fans, carrying out in -depth tests at the level of the minor league and trying at each stage to improve the game. Throughout this process, we worked on the deployment of the system in a way that is acceptable to players. The strong preference of players for the challenge format on the use of technology to call each pitch was a key factor to determine the system.”
