What this shows — how Jordan Baker called the 167 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 160 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

6 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Miguel Amaya — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Mark Vientos — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Francisco Alvarez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Francisco Alvarez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5A.J. Ewing — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  6. 6Miguel Amaya — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
