What this shows — how Charlie Ramos called the 138 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 132 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 · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Salvador Perez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Salvador Perez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Cody Bellinger — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Maikel Garcia — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Salvador Perez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
