ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System
6 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1James Wood — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Sal Stewart — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Sal Stewart — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4JJ Bleday — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 5JJ Bleday — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 6 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
