What this shows — how D.J. Reyburn called the 135 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 127 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

5 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Mickey Gasper — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Anthony Seigler — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Caleb Durbin — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Ali Sánchez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5Mickey Gasper — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
