What this shows — how Charlie Ramos called the 159 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 153 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

The zone, as he called it

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

8 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Victor Caratini — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Victor Caratini — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Carter Jensen — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Victor Caratini — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Carter Jensen — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Alex Jackson — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  7. 7Ryan Jeffers — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  8. 8Isaac Collins — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 8 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
