Home plate: James Hoye
“Down the middle. Both dugouts had the same zone.”
What this shows — how James Hoye called the 163 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 151 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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
5 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Luis Torrens — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Luis Torrens — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Tyler Freeman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 5Luis Torrens — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
