What this shows — how Tom Hanahan called the 179 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 170 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: Nasim Nuñez — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Iván Herrera — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Drew Millas — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Iván Herrera — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4

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

4 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Nasim Nuñez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Iván Herrera — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Drew Millas — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Iván Herrera — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
