What this shows — how Andy Fletcher called the 182 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 166 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: Adley Rutschman — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Ceddanne Rafaela — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Connor Wong — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3

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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Adley Rutschman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Ceddanne Rafaela — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Connor Wong — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 0 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
