Spring training games have begun as Major League Baseball's regular season creeps ever closer. The Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees had the honor of kicking off competitive baseball in Grapefruit League action on Friday, which meant everyone knew the stakes. As soon as the first pitch was delivered, so too was the race to become the first player to take the Automated Ball-Strike Challenge system for a spin.
Orioles' Colton Cowser jumped at the chance to make some very specific spring history in the bottom of the second inning when he took issue with a called strike delivered by Elmer Rodriguez.
