What this shows — how Adam Hamari called the 159 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 154 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: Isaac Collins — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1

The calls that moved the game

  1. 1-0.69▲6 · 3-2 ball called strike
    Rob Refsnyder vs Noah Cameron
  2. 2+0.13▲7 · 1-1 strike called ball
    Cole Young vs Nick Mears
  3. 3+0.10▼1 · 0-1 strike called ball
    Maikel Garcia vs Logan Gilbert

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

1 pitch went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Isaac Collins — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 1 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
