The American League's Tarik Skubal earned a strikeout of Manny Machado under the automated ball-strike challenge system, which was in use at All-Star Game.

MLB has been experimenting with the automated ball-strike system in the minor leagues since 2019 and will use it in an All-Star Game for the first time this summer. Each team gets two challenges and retains the challenge if it is successful.

Cal Raleigh achieved the first of four successful ball-strike challenges in the All-Star Game using the ABS system, which could make its regular-season debut in MLB next year.
