“Pitchers found a little extra real estate.”
What this shows — how Chris Conroy called the 191 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 177 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 · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Mookie Betts — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Ryan O'Hearn — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Jake Mangum — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Mookie Betts — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Kyle Tucker — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
