What this shows — how Ramon De Jesus called the 130 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 120 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

7 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Brayan Rocchio — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Daniel Schneemann — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Brandon Valenzuela — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5Austin Hedges — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  6. 6Daulton Varsho — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  7. 7Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

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.
