Do Bailey's skills at pitch framing matter as much with the new ABS system?

Apparently, one of Bailey's other skills is knowing when to challenge.  He was 10/12 in ABS challenges during spring training, compared to a 61% overall challenge success rate among pitchers/catchers (batters were generally worse).  So far in the regular season, he's 3/4, tied for third place among fielders.
