What this shows — how Brennan Miller called the 123 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 108 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

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

  1. 1Cole Carrigg — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Ceddanne Rafaela — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Braxton Fulford — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Carlos Narváez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5Mickey Gasper — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
