How the ABS challenge system works: The basics

• Each team receives two challenges to start the game.
• Only batters, pitchers, and catchers can challenge a call.
• If a team wins a challenge, it can keep challenging. If a team challenges incorrectly twice, it loses its challenges for the rest of the game.
• Teams will start each extra inning with a challenge regardless of whether they have already exhausted their challenges in the first nine innings.
