What this shows — how Paul Clemons called the 144 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 130 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: Xavier Edwards — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Hunter Goodman — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Hunter Goodman — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Edouard Julien — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Hunter Goodman — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: Edouard Julien — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).6

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

6 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Xavier Edwards — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Edouard Julien — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Hunter Goodman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Edouard Julien — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
