What this shows — how Jansen Visconti called the 164 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 150 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: Bryce Harper — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Trea Turner — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Rafael Marchán — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Gabriel Rincones Jr. — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Endy Rodríguez — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).5Challenge 6: Rafael Marchán — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Bryce Harper — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Trea Turner — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Rafael Marchán — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Gabriel Rincones Jr. — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Endy Rodríguez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  6. 6Rafael Marchán — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
