ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System
5 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Jose Trevino — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

- 3LuJames Groover — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Gabriel Moreno — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 5Blake Dunn — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
