Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona says he's told players not to use the experimental Automated Ball-Strike System in spring training.

Reds manager Terry Francona doesn’t see the point of asking his veteran players to utilize the experimental Automated Ball-Strike system during spring training. The ABS system for challenging calls is being tested out by MLB during spring training games,

He figures there’s little point for veterans to use it since the system won’t be in effect in the majors this season.
