ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

8 pitches went to the robots · 6 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Henry Davis — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Dalton Rushing — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Henry Davis — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Marcell Ozuna — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  5. 5Andy Pages — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Andy Pages — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  7. 7Henry Davis — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  8. 8Dalton Rushing — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 8 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
