In the fast-paced world of Major League Baseball, split-second decisions can make or break a game. To ensure fairness and accuracy, MLB introduced expanded instant replay rules in 2014, allowing managers to challenge up to two calls per game. This move aimed to minimize human error and enhance the integrity of the sport.
The expanded replay system grants managers one challenge over the first six innings and two from the seventh inning until the end of the game.
Calls under review are scrutinized by a dedicated crew at MLB headquarters in New York City, who deliver the final verdict.
