What this shows — how Paul Clemons called the 117 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 109 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 · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Dominic Canzone — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Logan O'Hoppe — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Logan O'Hoppe — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Logan O'Hoppe — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Logan O'Hoppe — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: 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.
