What this shows — how Carlos Torres called the 173 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 155 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: Myles Straw — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Sandy León — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Ronald Acuña Jr. — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Austin Wynns — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).4Challenge 5: Austin Wynns — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).5

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

5 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Myles Straw — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Sandy León — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Ronald Acuña Jr. — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Austin Wynns — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5Austin Wynns — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
