“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Chris Conroy called the 174 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 160 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

Run impact from the count run-value table: a missed strike three is worth far more than one on 3-0.
ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System
3 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Logan O'Hoppe — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Bryce Teodosio — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Nick Allen — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
