ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

9 pitches went to the robots · 6 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Josh Naylor — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Josh Naylor — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Mitch Garver — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Mitch Garver — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Jeff McNeil — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Shea Langeliers — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  7. 7Mitch Garver — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  8. 8Zack Gelof — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  9. 9Mitch Garver — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 6 of 9 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
