“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Louie Krupa called the 136 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 132 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
4 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Francisco Alvarez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Juan Soto — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
