Home plate: Austin Jones
“Down the middle. Both dugouts had the same zone.”
What this shows — how Austin Jones called the 169 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 162 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

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 · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Mark Vientos — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Miguel Amaya — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Pete Crow-Armstrong — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Marcus Semien — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: 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.
