Home plate: Andy Fletcher
“Nothing off the plate, and not much on the black either.”
What this shows — how Andy Fletcher called the 157 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 144 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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Zach Neto — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Drew Romo — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Sebastián Rivero — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Drew Romo — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
