The Taft Tigers are back on the mound, and inside the strike zone, and through the first few games, it’s been a mix of hits ...

Cody Poteet has his pitch overturned from a ball to a strike after a successful strike-zone challenge during an at-bat, the first-ever in an MLB spring training game.

During the 2024 regular season, 10.9% of called pitches in the strike zone were ruled balls and 6.3% of called pitches outside of the strike zone were ruled strikes, according to MLB Statcast.
