What this shows — how Ryan Additon called the 158 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: Shohei Ohtani — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Byron Buxton — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: Trevor Larnach — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Shohei Ohtani — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).4Challenge 5: Victor Caratini — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: Dalton Rushing — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).6Challenge 7: Alex Jackson — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).7

  2. 2Byron Buxton — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Trevor Larnach — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Shohei Ohtani — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  5. 5Victor Caratini — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Dalton Rushing — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
