What this shows — how Dan Iassogna called the 160 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.

The zone, as he called it

Challenge 1: Keibert Ruiz — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: J.T. Realmuto — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Bryce Harper — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Justin Crawford — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).4Challenge 5: Keibert Ruiz — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: Gabriel Rincones Jr. — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).6

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

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

  1. 1Keibert Ruiz — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2J.T. Realmuto — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Bryce Harper — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Justin Crawford — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  5. 5Keibert Ruiz — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Gabriel Rincones Jr. — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
