Caballero tapped his helmet, and the 12 Hawk-Eye cameras of the Automated Ball-Strike System upheld Miller&#8217;s decision in a graphic shown on the Oracle Park scoreboard. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thought it was a little higher that what it showed,&#8221; Caballero said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s really good, keep everyone accountable,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It gives us a chance to really see how good (we are) with the zone or not. I wish it was the other way around, I&#8217;m trying to get the overturn call but this time I didn&#8217;t.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>New York was ahead 5-0 at the time. Caballero drove in the first run with an RBI single in a five-run second inning against Webb, who recorded his 1,000th career strikeout in the fourth.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/26\/f0b01bfb-1bda-478b-b709-eb8afb4044f8\/thumbnail\/620x413\/3e0d60b266c573cc341978dd54af1c76\/ap26085110463909.jpg#\" alt=\"Yankees Giants Baseball \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/26\/f0b01bfb-1bda-478b-b709-eb8afb4044f8\/thumbnail\/620x413\/3e0d60b266c573cc341978dd54af1c76\/ap26085110463909.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/26\/f0b01bfb-1bda-478b-b709-eb8afb4044f8\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/48c2e086459ea2ff06fc3dc9587b74fa\/ap26085110463909.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">New York Yankees shortstop Jos\u00e9 Caballero, left, celebrates with second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. after game against the San Francisco Giants in San Francisco on March 25, 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Jeff Chiu \/ AP<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The automated system had been tested in the minor leagues since 2019 and was used during major league spring training in 2025 and &#8217;26.

Caballero did not challenge that one, though. He wasn&#8217;t going to burn New York&#8217;s two challenges on back-to-back pitches. There&#8217;s plenty of strategy with these challenges. Teams won&#8217;t just challenge anything they think went against them. The game situation is important.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before Wednesday&#8217;s game, Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke in support of ABS and the importance of discussing decisions on challenges with his team ahead of time. He stressed that this will be a learning process for everybody involved. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve tried to be real direct with them and why,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I feel like we&#8217;re going to be good at it, that&#8217;s the expectation. I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll continue to evolve with it.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>New San Francisco skipper Tony Vitello, who came to the Giants from the University of Tennessee with no professional experience as a player or coach, said he had to remind himself earlier Wednesday that the robots might take over at times. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;I&#8217;ve got to be honest with you, one thing I was looking at is who are the umpires tonight?&#8221; he said. &#8220;You get on Google (and) the first thing you see is there&#8217;s going to be a robot umpire. And it was only for a millisecond but I kind of freaked out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside
