What this shows — how Charlie Ramos called the 203 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 185 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

5 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Patrick Bailey — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Mark Vientos — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Matt Chapman — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  5. 5Mark Vientos — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
