What this shows — how Tripp Gibson called the 195 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 170 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: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Alejandro Kirk — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Denzel Clarke — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).3Challenge 4: Shea Langeliers — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: George Springer — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: Hogan Harris — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).6

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

6 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Alejandro Kirk — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Denzel Clarke — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Shea Langeliers — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5George Springer — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Hogan Harris — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 6 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
