What this shows — how Adam Beck called the 132 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 118 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: Kyle Karros — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Cole Carrigg — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Dalton Rushing — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Braxton Fulford — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Braxton Fulford — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: Braxton Fulford — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).6
