The robot umpire is coming to college baseball, at least on an experimental basis.The NCAA Baseball Rules Committee on Monday approved the Southeastern Conference's request to implement a challenge system for balls and strikes for each game of the 2026 SEC Tournament. It will be similar to the system used in Major League Baseball.Teams can challenge an umpires strike or ball call via an automated ball tracking system that monitors the exact location of each pitch, relative to the specific batters zone.The introduction of this challenge system at the SEC Tournament reflects our continued commitment to innovation, Commissioner Greg Sankey said. 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.Each team will have three challenges to start the game. If a challenge is successful, the team will retain the challenge. If the original call is confirmed, the team will lose the challenge.Upon a challenge, the pitch location will be compared against the electronic strike zone. The result will then be displayed on the stadium videoboard and broadcast.The SEC baseball tournament will be played May 19-24 in Hoover, Alabama.The Automatic Ball-Strike system would be allowed for other conference tournaments if a conference wanted to use it and followed the same protocols as the SEC.___AP college sports: https://apnews.com/hub/college-sports

Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes could be on track to return to the field sooner than expected. Chiefs general manager Brett Veach told SiriusXM on Monday morning that Mahomes rehab is well ahead of schedule. The strong progress puts Mahomes in a position to potentially take part in portions of the team's offseason workout program if his recovery continues without setbacks. "Hes way ahead of schedule," Veach said. "I think the biggest challenge that were going to have is protecting [Mahomes] against himself because Im sure when we get to St. Joseph, Missouri, for training camp, hes going to want to be a full-go." Mahomes is recovering from ACL and LCL tears in his left knee, which he suffered last December in the Chiefs' Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. While the typical recovery timeline is nine to 12 months, his current progress puts him on track to potentially return for training camp, if not sooner. "Its been really inspiring," Veach said. "Ive been there before with Pat when he had that dislocated knee and worked his tail off to come back in three weeks. I knew this bump in the road wouldnt slow him down at all." Even with Mahomes seemingly ahead of schedule, Veach focused on protecting him from himself throughout the rehab process. As much as getting him back on the field would provide a boost, the team remains focused on a cautious, long-term approach rather than rushing his return. "Were going to have to hold him back a little," Veach said. "I dont want to put a timetable on it, but I think you know the type of person and competitor Pat [Mahomes] is. I would just say that were in a pretty good place right now. While the organization remains committed to a cautious timeline, Mahomes rapid recovery is quickly making a return to training camp a realistic possibility. The focus now is less on the knee itself and more on managing his competitive drive to ensure hes fully cleared before returning.

Despite boasting star players such as Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Tilak Varma, Mumbai's campaign has been nothing short of disastrous, raising serious questions about leadership.
