What this shows — how Jansen Visconti called the 145 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 134 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: Will Smith — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: James McCann — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Edwin Díaz — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).3

The calls that moved the game

  2. 2+0.23▲5 · 0-2 strike called ball
    Ketel Marte vs Tyler Glasnow
  3. 3+0.19▲1 · 2-0 strike called ball
    Geraldo Perdomo vs Tyler Glasnow

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 Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Will Smith — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2James McCann — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Edwin Díaz — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: 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.
