What this shows — how D.J. Reyburn called the 145 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 140 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

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. 1Ben Rice — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Victor Caratini — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Victor Caratini — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Paul Goldschmidt — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Austin Wells — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  6. 6Austin Wells — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: 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.
