What this shows — how Chris Conroy called the 155 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 148 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

The zone, as he called it

Challenge 1: Carter Jensen — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Salvador Perez — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Drew Romo — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3

Run impact from the count run-value table: a missed strike three is worth far more than one on 3-0.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

3 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Carter Jensen — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Salvador Perez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Drew Romo — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
