What this shows — how Ramon De Jesus called the 139 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 133 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
4 pitches went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Jazz Chisholm Jr. — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Cam Schlittler — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Brandon Valenzuela — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Andrés Giménez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
