What this shows — how Carlos Torres called the 196 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 190 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

7 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Jeferson Quero — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Edgar Quero — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3William Contreras — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Edgar Quero — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Jeferson Quero — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Edgar Quero — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  7. 7Sal Frelick — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
