What this shows — how Jen Pawol called the 156 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 144 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

5 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Trevor Larnach — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Austin Martin — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Kody Clemens — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Nick Sogard — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  5. 5Jarren Duran — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
