“Two dugouts, and only one of them smiling.”
What this shows — how Adrian Johnson called the 153 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 144 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
5 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Grant McCray — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Rafael Devers — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Daniel Susac — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Justin Foscue — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Willy Adames — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
