What this shows — how Jonathan Parra called the 141 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.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

4 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Ezequiel Duran — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Carlos Narváez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Willson Contreras — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Josh Jung — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

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.
