What this shows — how Cory Blaser called the 120 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 117 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: Luis Torrens — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Joe Mack — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Joe Mack — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).3Challenge 4: Bo Bichette — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Joe Mack — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: Joe Mack — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).6

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

6 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Luis Torrens — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Joe Mack — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Joe Mack — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Bo Bichette — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Joe Mack — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Joe Mack — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
