What this shows — how Jeremie Rehak called the 184 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 175 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 · 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. 1Max Clark — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Jonah Heim — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Jonah Heim — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Spencer Torkelson — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  5. 5Jonah Heim — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Gleyber Torres — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
