ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

9 pitches went to the robots · 7 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  2. 2Jonah Heim — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3J.T. Realmuto — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 9 of 9 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
