What this shows — how Tripp Gibson called the 168 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: Agustín Ramírez — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Will Smith — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: Agustín Ramírez — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Miguel Rojas — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).4

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

4 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Agustín Ramírez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Will Smith — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Agustín Ramírez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Miguel Rojas — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
