Home plate: John Tumpane
“One dugout got the friendlier version of the evening.”
What this shows — how John Tumpane called the 160 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 150 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
3 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Aaron Judge — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Kazuma Okamoto — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Austin Wells — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
