What this shows — how Ryan Additon called the 146 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 139 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: Freddy Fermin — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1

The calls that moved the game

  1. 1+0.39▲3 · 2-2 strike called ball
    Rafael Devers vs Nick Pivetta
  2. 2+0.20▲6 · 2-1 strike called ball
    Heliot Ramos vs Jeremiah Estrada
  3. 3+0.19▲5 · 2-0 strike called ball
    Jung Hoo Lee vs Nick Pivetta

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

1 pitch went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Freddy Fermin — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

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