ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

  1. 1Tyler Mahle — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Matt Chapman — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Marcell Ozuna — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Henry Davis — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Henry Davis — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  6. 6Jesus Rodriguez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
