“An honest evening's grade: nothing loud, nothing missed by much.”
What this shows — how Adam Hamari called the 133 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 129 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System
4 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Heliot Ramos — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Willy Adames — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Jesus Rodriguez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Luis Campusano — 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.
