What this shows — how Jonathan Parra called the 172 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 160 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

4 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Austin Wells — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Luis Torrens — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Juan Soto — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Trent Grisham — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
