Rangers rookie pitcher finds out he made the team during a mound visit from manager.

Baumler retired the first two Kansas City Royals batters in the fifth inning Monday night before Schumaker came out of the dugout. The 24-year-old reliever thought he was being taken out of the game. Baumler allowed one earned run and struck out 10 over 9 1/3 innings in eight spring training games. He has never pitched above the Double-A level.

Robot strike zone will create winners and losers among pitchers, batters who earned human calls. Major League Baseball’s new Automated Ball-Strike System changes how pitches get called, and some players gain while others lose. On Wednesday night, it makes its regular-season debut when the Yankees play the Giants. Statcast data shows Kyle Hendriks led in strikes called on pitches that missed the zone over the past decade, and Aaron Nola and Kevin Gausman also benefitted. Patrick Corbin lost the most pitches that were called balls even though they were in the zone. Among batters, Mookie Betts led in called strikes out of the zone.
