“Reliable as a Tuesday: no complaints, no headlines.”
What this shows — how Steven Jaschinski called the 128 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 124 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

Luis Lara vs Walbert Ureña
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
4 pitches went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Denzer Guzman — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Denzer Guzman — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Jake Bauers — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
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.
