What this shows — how Felix Neon called the 183 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 164 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

Challenge 1: Luis Torrens — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: J.T. Realmuto — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: J.T. Realmuto — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Bo Bichette — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).4Challenge 5: A.J. Ewing — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: Carson Benge — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).6Challenge 7: Bryce Harper — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).7Challenge 8: Luis Torrens — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).8

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

8 pitches went to the robots · 6 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Luis Torrens — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2J.T. Realmuto — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3J.T. Realmuto — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Bo Bichette — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  5. 5A.J. Ewing — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Carson Benge — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  7. 7Bryce Harper — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  8. 8Luis Torrens — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 7 of 8 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
