Does challenge skill track with winning?

Teams

Challenges made and the share overturned in the team's favor. Sortable. Best and worst rates (min challenges) are highlighted.

Who challenges, and how well

Per team: how challenges split across batters, catchers, and pitchers (count and success rate each), and the team's most-active challenger. Sortable.

Challenges by inning

Umpires

Overturn rate = the share of challenged calls that were reversed. A high rate means more of that umpire's challenged calls were wrong. Read with care: it also reflects how selectively teams challenged that crew.
