What this shows — how Dan Bellino called the 122 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 118 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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Hunter Feduccia — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Ben Rice — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Jonathan Aranda — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Hunter Feduccia — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5José Caballero — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
