“Pitchers found a little extra real estate.”
What this shows — how Tom Hanahan called the 151 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 138 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

- 2Davis Schneider — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Myles Straw — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Brandon Valenzuela — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
