ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System
5 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Sebastián Rivero — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Zach Neto — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Travis Bazzana — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Travis Bazzana — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Joey Cantillo — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
