What this shows — how Alan Porter called the 173 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 167 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

The zone, as he called it

Challenge 1: Keibert Ruiz — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: CJ Abrams — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Luis García Jr. — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).3

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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Keibert Ruiz — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2CJ Abrams — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Luis García Jr. — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
