What this shows — how Marvin Hudson called the 150 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 136 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. 1Myles Straw — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Tyler Heineman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Trevor Story — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Caleb Durbin — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  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.
