What this shows — how Dexter Kelley called the 130 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 125 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

Challenge 1: Bryce Harper — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Spencer Horwitz — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: Bryan Reynolds — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).3

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

3 pitches went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Bryce Harper — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Spencer Horwitz — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Bryan Reynolds — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

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