What this shows — how Paul Clemons called the 164 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 146 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

6 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Davis Schneider — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Jesús Sánchez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Bo Naylor — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Tyler Heineman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Tyler Heineman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Davis Schneider — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
