What this shows — how Brian Walsh called the 150 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 133 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: Davis Schneider — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Tyler Heineman — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Yoán Moncada — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).3Challenge 4: Logan O'Hoppe — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Tyler Heineman — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: Kazuma Okamoto — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).6Challenge 7: Adam Frazier — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).7

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

7 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Davis Schneider — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Tyler Heineman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Yoán Moncada — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Logan O'Hoppe — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Tyler Heineman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Kazuma Okamoto — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  7. 7Adam Frazier — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 6 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
