What this shows — how Dan Bellino called the 184 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 174 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

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. 1Colt Keith — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Junior Caminero — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Ryan Vilade — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Dillon Dingler — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5Nick Fortes — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Jahmai Jones — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  7. 7Junior Caminero — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 6 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
