Quero's Clutch ABS Challenges Save White Sox

0:00On April 17th, in Major League Baseball's new automated ball-strike challenge system, catches are making game-changing calls, and white socks backstop. Edgar Cuero just had the biggest day yet. On Thursday in Chicago, he overturned three bases, loaded ball calls, including a massive ninth inning strike that kept the score tied at 3-3. Against the raise, picture this, bases loaded, one out, full count on Jake Frailey. Picture Lucas Sims throws a sweeper low, ump calls ball four, go ahead run scores, raise up 4-3. Carroll challenges, and boom. It's a strike, barely clipping the zone bottom. No run, two outs now, score stays even. Fans and analysts have been waiting for a challenge this clutch, and a delivered huge value. That single overturn was worth plus 1.8 runs saved, matching the season's top flips, but in the ninth, boosting white socks win odds by over. 20 percentage points from 74 percent raised favor to a near coin flip.

1:02Earlier that game, Cuero nailed two more bases, loaded challenges on Yandy Diaz, dodging three ball counts and adding to his tally despite a couple. Mrs, his net day, plus 2.4 runs of value, topping any catcher's ABS performance so far, even after entering as the league's worst challenger at. Three wins and 24 tries. Moments like Cuero show why ABS matters, it's not just flipping calls, it's swinging run expectancy and late game drama, proving catcher's can turn. The tied one pitch at a time.
