STL @ WSH
Home plate: Scott Barry
“The kind of night where the umpire is the least of the story.”
What this shows — how Scott Barry called the 168 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 158 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
3 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Brady House — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Iván Herrera — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Drew Millas — 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.
