Jazz Chisholm Jr. has not mastered the ABS challenge system just yet, but Friday’s mishap may have been his worst.
The New York Yankees second baseman has called for six challenges, yet he’s only been successful one time.
On Friday, he was called out on strikes on a full count, prompting a tap of the helmet in an effort to get to first base.

However, the ABS system showed the entire ball was in the strike zone.
“You just gotta laugh at that point,” Chisholm said.
The Yankees were beating the Houston Astros 12-4 at that point, so he likely did not get much of an earful from manager Aaron Boone.
“We were winning. It’s a kid’s game. You got to laugh at some things. Sometimes you just got to laugh at yourself and walk off,” Chisholm said.
Chisholm then joked he was fining himself $1,000.
“I got to do something for the team worth at least $1,000 after that.”
Chisholm is one of two players in the league to have at least six challenges and get just one of them right, along with Gunnar Henderson. Among those with at least six challenges, their 17% success rate is the lowest in the sport (Augustin Ramirez is 0-for-5, and Andres Gimenez is 0-for-4).
The Yankees are one of the worst teams at challenging pitches as batters. Their 43% overturn rate is the eighth-worst mark in the league, and that includes starting the season 11-for-13. They rank 15th (63%) in fielding overturns, however.
