“A small strike zone, generously enforced for the offense.”
What this shows — how Brennan Miller called the 134 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 120 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.
- 1Jorge Polanco — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Francisco Alvarez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Griffin Conine — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Joe Mack — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
