What this shows — how Charlie Ramos called the 164 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 154 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

5 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Ali Sánchez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Ali Sánchez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Drew Millas — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Ali Sánchez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5José Tena — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
