What this shows — how Emil Jimenez called the 168 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 156 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: Rafael Marchán — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Mauricio Dubón — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: Drake Baldwin — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).3

    Ronald Acuña Jr. vs Zack Wheeler
  3. 3-0.13▲3 · 1-0 ball called strike

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

  1. 1Rafael Marchán — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Mauricio Dubón — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Drake Baldwin — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

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