What this shows — how Will Little called the 151 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 142 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 · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Carson Benge — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Luis Torrens — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Joe Mack — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Luis Torrens — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
