What this shows — how Emil Jimenez called the 188 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 167 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. 1Gary Sánchez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Jake Bauers — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Bryce Eldridge — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Cooper Pratt — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Daniel Susac — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  6. 6Daniel Susac — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  7. 7Christian Yelich — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
