What this shows — how Chris Guccione called the 177 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 166 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: Jhonny Pereda — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Jhonny Pereda — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: Jhonny Pereda — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).3

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

3 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Jhonny Pereda — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Jhonny Pereda — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Jhonny Pereda — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
