Getting the Call Right

Question: How many replay challenges were made, by either team, at American Family Field^TM in 2023?

A: 26
B: 29
C: 35
D: 41

The Milwaukee Brewers™ succeeded in 16 challenges, convincing the umpires to rule in their favor. Instant replay made its debut in Major League Baseball in 2008, but the current replay system started in the 2014 season. Under this system, team managers can challenge one call per game, and if successful, they retain the right to challenge again. After the eighth inning, the umpire crew chief can initiate a review, with the flexibility to review disputed home run calls at any time. That’s how the replay rule works in a nutshell!

Answer: C, 35 challenges were reviewed in 2023.
