What this shows — how Malachi Moore called the 180 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 157 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

8 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Willi Castro — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Jonah Heim — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Jonah Heim — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  7. 7Jonah Heim — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  8. 8Jonah Heim — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 7 of 8 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
