What this shows — how Chris Conroy called the 129 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 122 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: Austin Wells — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Jazz Chisholm Jr. — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Edmundo Sosa — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Derek Hill — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).4Challenge 5: Austin Wells — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: Ben Rice — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).6

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

  1. 1Austin Wells — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Jazz Chisholm Jr. — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Edmundo Sosa — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Derek Hill — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  5. 5Austin Wells — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Ben Rice — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: 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.
