Home plate: Paul Clemons
“Corner-to-corner and then some.”
What this shows — how Paul Clemons called the 168 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 154 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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 the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Lawrence Butler — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Jonah Heim — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Matt Chapman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Jonah Heim — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 5Tyler Soderstrom — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
