What this shows — how Bill Miller called the 136 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 124 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

7 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Cal Raleigh — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Dominic Canzone — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Weston Wilson — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Elly De La Cruz — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Sal Stewart — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  6. 6Tyler Stephenson — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  7. 7Cal Raleigh — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

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