What this shows — how Brian Walsh called the 143 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 137 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: Luis Torrens — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Marcus Semien — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2

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

2 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Luis Torrens — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Marcus Semien — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 0 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
