What this shows — how Jim Wolf called the 145 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 134 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

8 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Keibert Ruiz — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Owen Caissie — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Curtis Mead — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Keibert Ruiz — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Joe Mack — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Kyle Stowers — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  7. 7Esteury Ruiz — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  8. 8Daylen Lile — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 8 of 8 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
