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.
- 1Joe Mack — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Drew Millas — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Drew Millas — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Drew Millas — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 5Heriberto Hernández — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
