What this shows — how Brian O'Nora called the 155 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 146 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

4 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Jonathan Aranda — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Hunter Feduccia — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Myles Straw — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
