ABS-challenge skill
If/when the ABS-challenge system comes to MLB, a new skill will be sought after: the challenge skill. If I were manager, I'd likely reserve the right to challenge to a select few batters on each team (at least through 7 or 8 innings), like Juan Soto and other genius batters who know the strike zone better than most.
If you are allowed 3 wrong challenges, players like Juan Soto should be given free reign to make those challenges, and not have the rest of his team "foul out", thereby preventing him from challenging.
We SHOULD be getting something like 70 or 80% reverse rate through seven or eight innings, before getting 30 or 40% reverse rates (use em or lose em) in the last inning or two. While the minor leagues likely has under 50% overturn rate, I'd expect the overturn rate to be over 60%, if not 70% among the better MLB clubs. We'll see how it goes if/when ABS-challenge comes.
