What this shows — how Jordan Baker called the 118 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 111 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 · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Jonathan Aranda — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Nick Fortes — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Elias Díaz — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Nick Fortes — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 5Nick Fortes — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 6Austin Wynns — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
