What this shows — how Dan Bellino called the 149 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 136 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

4 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.

  1. 1Daniel Susac — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Daniel Susac — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Julio Rodríguez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Cal Raleigh — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
