What this shows — how Adam Hamari called the 226 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 209 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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Luis Campusano — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Alejandro Kirk — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Luis Campusano — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Luis Campusano — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  5. 5Xander Bogaerts — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

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.
