What this shows — how Jansen Visconti called the 136 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 126 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: Joe Mack — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Kyle Higashioka — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Jose Corniell — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).3Challenge 4: Kyle Higashioka — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Wyatt Langford — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).5

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

5 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Joe Mack — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Kyle Higashioka — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Jose Corniell — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Kyle Higashioka — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Wyatt Langford — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
