Home plate: Brian O'Nora
“This one went to video review more than most.”
What this shows — how Brian O'Nora called the 156 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 140 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

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
5 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Miguel Amaya — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Munetaka Murakami — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Miguel Amaya — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Sam Antonacci — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 5Drew Romo — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
