“Reliable as a Tuesday: no complaints, no headlines.”
What this shows — how Lance Barrett called the 135 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 126 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
5 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Agustín Ramírez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Kevin McGonigle — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 5Jakob Marsee — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
