What this shows — how Edwin Moscoso called the 126 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 119 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: Esmerlyn Valdez — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Mitch Garver — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: Henry Davis — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).3

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

3 pitches went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Esmerlyn Valdez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Mitch Garver — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Henry Davis — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
