What this shows — how John Tumpane called the 158 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 150 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: Wilyer Abreu — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Gary Sánchez — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: William Contreras — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).3

The calls that moved the game

  1. 1-0.28▲2 · 1-2 ball called strike
    Luis Matos vs Garrett Crochet
  2. 2-0.21▼6 · 3-0 ball called strike
    Wilyer Abreu vs Jacob Misiorowski
  3. 3+0.13▲2 · 1-1 strike called ball
    Gary Sánchez vs Garrett Crochet

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

3 pitches went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Wilyer Abreu — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Gary Sánchez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
