What this shows — how Chris Segal called the 205 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 178 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

  2. 2Edgar Quero — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Edgar Quero — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Carson Kelly — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 12 of 12 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
