“The zone leaned, and the ledger noticed.”
What this shows — how Tyler Jones called the 162 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 154 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
The calls that moved the game

Will Benson vs Cade Smith - 3+0.13▲3 · 1-1 strike called ball
Ke'Bryan Hayes vs Joey Cantillo
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
4 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Austin Hedges — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Sal Stewart — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Austin Hedges — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Travis Bazzana — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
