Home plate: Ramon De Jesus
“Down the middle. Both dugouts had the same zone.”
What this shows — how Ramon De Jesus called the 194 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 187 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

Jake Bauers vs Matt Gage
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
5 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Jake Bauers — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Eric Haase — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Jung Hoo Lee — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4William Contreras — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 5Luis Arraez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
