“Down the middle. Both dugouts had the same zone.”
What this shows — how Austin Jones called the 149 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 143 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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
6 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Andy Pages — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Dalton Rushing — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Alex Call — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 6Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 6 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
