In a significant moment for Major League Baseball, Brett Baty of the New York Mets became the first player to have a bases-loaded walk changed to a called third strike due to the automated ball-strike system during a game against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. This decision came after plate umpire Ryan Blakney initially ruled it ball four, allowing Baty to take his place at first base. However, following an appeal from Colorado catcher Brett Sullivan, the automated system reversed the call, ending the inning without the Mets scoring. This incident contributed to the Mets' 3-1 loss, marking their 15th defeat in 17 games. The Rockies completed a three-game series sweep, further complicating the Mets' season. Baty reflected on the moment, stating, "It would have been big to get a run on the board there in the first, but it's part of the game now, so got to deal with it." The game also saw four successful challenges out of seven, showcasing the impact of the new challenge system on gameplay.
