ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

9 pitches went to the robots · 7 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Cal Raleigh — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Shane Baz — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Samuel Basallo — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Pete Alonso — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Mitch Garver — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Colt Emerson — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  7. 7Adley Rutschman — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  8. 8Samuel Basallo — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  9. 9Samuel Basallo — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 7 of 9 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
