What this shows — how Ramon De Jesus called the 152 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 144 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

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

  1. 1Michael King — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Andy Pages — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Kyle Tucker — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Freddy Fermin — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
