What this shows — how Edwin Moscoso called the 175 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 161 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

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

7 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Luis Torrens — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Tyler Stephenson — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Luis Torrens — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Brett Baty — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  5. 5Juan Soto — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Sal Stewart — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  7. 7Sal Stewart — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 7 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
