ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System
1 pitch went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Will Smith — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 1 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
