What this shows — how Louie Krupa called the 141 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 132 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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

5 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Brett Sullivan — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Brett Sullivan — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Brett Sullivan — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Carson Kelly — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5Edouard Julien — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
