What this shows — how Stu Scheurwater called the 162 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 148 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: Hunter Feduccia — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Ryan Vilade — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Hunter Feduccia — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Taylor Ward — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Richie Palacios — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: Adley Rutschman — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).6

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

6 pitches went to the robots · 6 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Hunter Feduccia — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Ryan Vilade — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Hunter Feduccia — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Taylor Ward — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Richie Palacios — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Adley Rutschman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 6 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
