What this shows — how Steven Jaschinski called the 120 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 112 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: Trea Turner — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Will Smith — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Will Smith — 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. 1Trea Turner — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Will Smith — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Will Smith — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
