What this shows — how Adam Hamari called the 180 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 168 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 ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2J.T. Realmuto — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Kyle Schwarber — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Justin Crawford — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  5. 5J.T. Realmuto — 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.
