What this shows — how Mark Wegner called the 157 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 152 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: Patrick Bailey — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Cal Raleigh — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Dominic Canzone — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).3Challenge 4: Patrick Bailey — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).4Challenge 5: Cal Raleigh — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Cal Raleigh — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Dominic Canzone — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5Cal Raleigh — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
