What this shows — how Edwin Moscoso called the 181 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 176 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

6 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Tyler Heineman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Casey Schmitt — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Drew Gilbert — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Tyler Heineman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Denzer Guzman — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  6. 6Tyler Heineman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
