“The zone showed up, did the job, and went home. Ideal.”
What this shows — how Jeremie Rehak called the 169 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 162 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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Hunter Goodman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Manny Machado — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Ty France — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
