What this shows — how Chris Segal called the 150 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

Challenge 1: Jorge Soler — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Logan O'Hoppe — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Jo Adell — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Brooks Lee — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Victor Caratini — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: Vaughn Grissom — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).6

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 · 6 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Jorge Soler — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Logan O'Hoppe — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Jo Adell — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Brooks Lee — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Victor Caratini — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Vaughn Grissom — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

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