What this shows — how Adam Hamari called the 150 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 135 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

7 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1TJ Rumfield — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Ezequiel Tovar — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Willi Castro — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Joc Pederson — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  6. 6Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  7. 7Justin Foscue — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
