How ABS has helped propel MLB's left-handed-hitting resurgence

The Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system in MLB has played a significant role in reviving the effectiveness of left-handed hitters across the league. By providing more consistent and accurate strike zone calls, the technology has reportedly benefited left-handed batters who historically struggled with inconsistent outside-corner calls. Analysts and players point to improved plate discipline and on-base percentages among left-handed hitters as evidence of ABS's impact.
