What this shows — how Edwin Moscoso called the 155 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.

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. 1Kyle Teel — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Austin Hedges — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Rhys Hoskins — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Kyle Teel — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Kyle Teel — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Randal Grichuk — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
