If you watch any Blue Jays game in the upcoming season, you may notice something is missing - the box that tells you whether the last pitch is a ball or a strike. 

It's a huge change from years past, and there's a good reason it's happening. MLB is instituting a new Automated Ball Strike System, known as ABS. It will allow batters to challenge an umpire's call on a limited basis. And it means taking off that famous pitch box you've been seeing for years. 

"Under the new policy, televised and streamed broadcasts will no longer include the familiar on-screen pitch tracker that indicates whether a pitch crossed the strike zone. Viewers will still see pitch velocity and type, but the immediate visual confirmation of “ball” or “strike” will be removed.
