What this shows — how D.J. Reyburn called the 170 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 158 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. 1Ozzie Albies — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Rafael Marchán — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Drake Baldwin — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Matt Olson — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  5. 5Dominic Smith — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
