What this shows — how Emil Jimenez called the 181 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 169 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: Endy Rodríguez — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Gregory Soto — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: Trea Turner — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).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 · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Endy Rodríguez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Gregory Soto — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Trea Turner — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

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