What this shows — how Jansen Visconti called the 146 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 140 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. 1Mitch Garver — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Drew Millas — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Victor Robles — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Drew Millas — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5Drew Millas — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
