What this shows — how Jordan Baker called the 118 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 115 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

4 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Dalton Rushing — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Dalton Rushing — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Geraldo Perdomo — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Dalton Rushing — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
