In a spring training game, Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson used MLB's new Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System to overturn a close strike call against Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes. The Braves won all four challenges against Skenes, contributing to their 3-1 victory. The incident highlighted the precision of the ABS system in its debut regular season.
Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson played his 798th consecutive Major League Baseball game Sunday night against the Cleveland Guardians, tying Nellie Fox for the 11th-longest streak in history. The milestone highlights Olson's durability since returning from an eye injury in 2021. After Monday's game versus the Marlins, he will stand 23 games from the top 10.
