“The strike zone picked a side, and wasn't shy about it.”
What this shows — how Edwin Moscoso called the 136 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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Francisco Alvarez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Francisco Alvarez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Will Smith — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Francisco Alvarez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 5Will Smith — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
