“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how John Tumpane called the 120 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 112 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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1J.T. Realmuto — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Anthony Volpe — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Bryce Harper — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Bryce Harper — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
