“Reliable as a Tuesday: no complaints, no headlines.”
What this shows — how Shane Livensparger called the 191 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 180 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
5 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Jacob Wilson — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Darell Hernaiz — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Chase DeLauter — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Nick Kurtz — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 5Bo Naylor — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
