What this shows — how Alex Tosi called the 130 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 123 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

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

10 pitches went to the robots · 7 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Tyler Stephenson — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Hunter Goodman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3TJ Friedl — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Hunter Goodman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Tyler Stephenson — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Willi Castro — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  7. 7Tyler Stephenson — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  8. 8Tyler Stephenson — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  9. 9Tyler Freeman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  10. 10Tyler Freeman — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 10 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
