ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

9 pitches went to the robots · 7 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Tyler Stephenson — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2A.J. Ewing — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Tyler Stephenson — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Tyler Stephenson — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5MJ Melendez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Luis Torrens — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  7. 7Luis Torrens — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  8. 8Eugenio Suárez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  9. 9Mark Vientos — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 8 of 9 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
