Home plate: Roberto Ortiz
“A tilt to the evening — the numbers say which way.”
What this shows — how Roberto Ortiz called the 122 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 113 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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Nick Fortes — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Cedric Mullins — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Ben Williamson — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Nick Fortes — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 5Edouard Julien — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: 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.
