What this shows — how Scott Barry called the 138 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: Gabriel Moreno — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Keibert Ruiz — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Geraldo Perdomo — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3

    Curtis Mead vs Drey Jameson
  3. 3+0.09▼4 · 0-0 strike called ball

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. 1Gabriel Moreno — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Keibert Ruiz — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Geraldo Perdomo — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: 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.
