What this shows — how Paul Clemons called the 137 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 130 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: Joe Mack — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Geraldo Perdomo — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Joe Mack — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Kyle Stowers — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).4

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

4 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Joe Mack — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Geraldo Perdomo — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Joe Mack — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Kyle Stowers — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
