What this shows — how Steven Jaschinski called the 137 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

Challenge 1: Moisés Ballesteros — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Nico Hoerner — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Jonah Heim — 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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Moisés Ballesteros — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Nico Hoerner — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Jonah Heim — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
