What this shows — how Ramon De Jesus called the 155 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 147 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. 1Liam Hicks — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Nick Fortes — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Liam Hicks — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Jakob Marsee — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 0 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
