MLB umpire caught on hot mic begging pitch to 'please be a strike' after catcher issues ABS challenge

Major League Baseball's Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS) had arguably its best moment on Saturday afternoon in spring training.

In a game between the Cleveland Guardians and San Francisco Giants in Scottsdale, Arizona, Robbie Ray was facing Sean Mooney, who was at the plate as the tying run in a 3-0 game and an 0-2 count with two outs in the top of the fourth.

Mooney took a low sinker that was called a ball by home plate umpire Bill Miller, but catcher Patrick Bailey challenged the call.
