What this shows — how Jim Wolf called the 153 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 143 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: Andrew Benintendi — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Bryson Stott — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: J.T. Realmuto — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).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. 1Andrew Benintendi — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Bryson Stott — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3J.T. Realmuto — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

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.
