Home plate: Bill Miller
“One side pitched to a slightly bigger plate.”
What this shows — how Bill Miller called the 143 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 130 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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
4 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Nolan Schanuel — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Logan O'Hoppe — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Wyatt Langford — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Kyle Higashioka — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
