2026 MiLB ABS Tech (RENO, NV)

Major League Baseball (MLB) will be operating the Automated Ball and Strike system (ABS) in AAA, the Florida State League, select Spring Training venues, and potentially in other non-MLB games and venues.

ABS will leverage optical tracking data to determine and communicate ball and strike calls to plate umpires. It is critical we provide quality support to the umpires and the technology while capturing data around system performance. The ABS Tech will be located at field level to physically support the plate umpire including his device, its functionality, and wiring. The ABS application is a simple phone app operated on an MLB-supplied iPhone with a WiFi connection.

The data points entered by ABS for each at-bat throughout the game, will be :

• No audio
• Slow or delayed audio
• Pitch call issue flag

This is a seasonal role that requires regular onsite attendance at the ballpark. MLB does not provide any form of relocation assistance and you will be responsible for your transportation needs. Please apply for positions in the market where you are currently located.
