“Corner-to-corner and then some.”
What this shows — how Dexter Kelley called the 161 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.

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
5 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Chase DeLauter — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Drake Baldwin — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Steven Kwan — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4David Fry — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 5Osvaldo Bido — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
