What this shows — how Paul Clemons called the 168 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 156 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: Lawrence Butler — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Jonah Heim — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Matt Chapman — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Jonah Heim — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Tyler Soderstrom — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).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 · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Lawrence Butler — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Jonah Heim — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Matt Chapman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Jonah Heim — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Tyler Soderstrom — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
