The SEC baseball tournament, set to be held from May 19-24, is going to resemble professional baseball in one aspect, as MLB's popular ABS challenge system will be utilized on an experimental basis for each game of the tourney, the conference on Monday announced.
“The introduction of this challenge system at the SEC Tournament reflects our continued commitment to innovation,” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said in the news release. “This addition represents a continued step forward for our game, aligns more closely with the professional level and supports the development of our student-athletes as they prepare for success at the next level.”
