What this shows — how Brian Walsh called the 124 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 120 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

7 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Nick Fortes — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Nick Fortes — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Tommy Troy — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Adrian Del Castillo — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Ketel Marte — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Lourdes Gurriel Jr. — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  7. 7Nolan Arenado — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
