What this shows — how Vic Carapazza called the 128 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 121 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

4 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Cal Raleigh — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Cal Raleigh — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Endy Rodríguez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Cole Young — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 0 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
