“Pitchers found a little extra real estate.”
What this shows — how Edwin Jimenez called the 208 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 194 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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.
- 2Christian Yelich — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Bryce Eldridge — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 5Sal Frelick — 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.
