What this shows — how John Tumpane called the 185 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 169 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

Challenge 1: Alejandro Kirk — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Alejandro Kirk — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: Alejandro Kirk — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).3Challenge 4: Trea Turner — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Bryce Harper — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: J.T.

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. 1Alejandro Kirk — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Alejandro Kirk — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  3. 3Alejandro Kirk — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Trea Turner — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Bryce Harper — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6J.T. Realmuto — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  7. 7Bryce Harper — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  8. 8J.T. Realmuto — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

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.
