At the bottom of the first round, the launcher of the American league Tarik Skubal in Padres in the inner field player Manny Machado was called a ball. The decision led to a 1-2 count instead of a removal of the stick. But a call was made to the ABS Défi system, which sent Machado to the canoe with a withdrawal.
