What this shows — how Jansen Visconti called the 137 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 134 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: Sebastián Rivero — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Sebastián Rivero — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Sebastián Rivero — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).3

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

3 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Sebastián Rivero — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Sebastián Rivero — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Sebastián Rivero — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
