Home plate: John Tumpane
“The strike zone picked a side, and wasn't shy about it.”
What this shows — how John Tumpane called the 155 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 146 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
4 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Coby Mayo — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Johnathan Rodríguez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Ketel Marte — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Sam Huff — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
