“The plate grew a few inches after the first pitch.”
What this shows — how Chris Segal called the 149 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 135 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
5 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Nico Hoerner — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Teoscar Hernández — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Carson Kelly — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Carson Kelly — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 5Carson Kelly — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
