What this shows — how D.J. Reyburn called the 142 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 135 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

4 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Victor Caratini — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Trevor Larnach — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Victor Caratini — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Austin Martin — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
