What this shows — how Jeremie Rehak called the 145 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 139 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

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

  1. 1Sal Stewart — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Jose Altuve — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Christian Vázquez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Isaac Paredes — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Tyler Stephenson — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Will Benson — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
