What this shows — how Tyler Jones called the 121 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 117 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: Ali Sánchez — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Connor Wong — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Jasson Domínguez — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Ali Sánchez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Connor Wong — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Jasson Domínguez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 0 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
