What this shows — how Chris Conroy called the 107 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 101 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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Hunter Goodman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Mickey Gasper — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Hunter Goodman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

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