What this shows — how Charlie Ramos called the 124 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 121 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: Oswald Peraza — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Logan O'Hoppe — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: Cal Raleigh — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3

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

3 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Oswald Peraza — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Logan O'Hoppe — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Cal Raleigh — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
