What this shows — how Edwin Jimenez called the 167 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 157 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

The zone, as he called it

Challenge 1: Luis Campusano — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Freddy Fermin — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Freddy Fermin — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).3

The calls that moved the game

  1. 1+0.28▼6 · 1-2 strike called ball
    Jorge Soler vs Ron Marinaccio
  2. 2-0.21▲8 · 3-0 ball called strike
    Jackson Merrill vs Sam Bachman
  3. 3+0.20▼4 · 2-1 strike called ball
    Mike Trout vs Michael King

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

3 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Luis Campusano — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Freddy Fermin — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Freddy Fermin — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
