What this shows — how Jonathan Parra called the 202 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 190 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

Challenge 1: Sebastián Rivero — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Zach Neto — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: Travis Bazzana — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Travis Bazzana — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).4Challenge 5: Joey Cantillo — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).5

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

5 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Sebastián Rivero — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Zach Neto — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Travis Bazzana — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Travis Bazzana — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  5. 5Joey Cantillo — 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.
