What this shows — how Brian O'Nora called the 131 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 122 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

7 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Adley Rutschman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Adley Rutschman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Adley Rutschman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Tyler Stephenson — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

  6. 6Jackson Holliday — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  7. 7Blaze Alexander — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
