“The corners were friendlier in one direction tonight.”
What this shows — how Dan Iassogna called the 180 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 162 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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 the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Angel Martínez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Austin Hedges — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Kyle Manzardo — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Carter Jensen — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
