What this shows — how Charlie Ramos called the 153 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 147 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

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

  1. 1Shea Langeliers — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Ryan O'Hearn — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Shea Langeliers — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Endy Rodríguez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5Henry Bolte — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Jeff McNeil — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
