What this shows — how Cory Blaser called the 171 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 161 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

7 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Taylor Ward — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Coby Mayo — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Leody Taveras — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Drew Millas — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Drew Millas — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Nasim Nuñez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  7. 7Drew Millas — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 7 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
