“Corner-to-corner and then some.”
What this shows — how Adam Hamari called the 226 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 206 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
The calls that moved the game

Jonatan Clase vs Matt Waldron - 2+0.39▲1 · 2-2 strike called ball
Nathan Lukes vs Walker Buehler - 3+0.21▼1 · 3-0 strike called ball
Xander Bogaerts vs Trey Yesavage
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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Luis Campusano — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Alejandro Kirk — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Luis Campusano — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Luis Campusano — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Xander Bogaerts — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
