ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

10 pitches went to the robots · 7 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Freddy Fermin — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2TJ Rumfield — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Freddy Fermin — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Troy Johnston — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  7. 7Willi Castro — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  8. 8Luis Campusano — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  9. 9Luis Campusano — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  10. 10Brett Sullivan — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 10 of 10 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
