What this shows — how Adrian Johnson called the 156 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 143 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: Drew Cavanaugh — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Bryce Eldridge — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Kevin McGonigle — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Dillon Dingler — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Drew Cavanaugh — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: Spencer Torkelson — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).6Challenge 7: Spencer Torkelson — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).7Challenge 8: Dillon Dingler — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).8Challenge 9: Daniel Susac — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).9

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

9 pitches went to the robots · 8 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Drew Cavanaugh — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Bryce Eldridge — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Kevin McGonigle — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Dillon Dingler — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Drew Cavanaugh — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Spencer Torkelson — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  7. 7Spencer Torkelson — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  8. 8Dillon Dingler — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  9. 9Daniel Susac — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 9 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
