Home plate: Tyler Jones
“An honest evening's grade: nothing loud, nothing missed by much.”
What this shows — how Tyler Jones called the 141 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 135 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
4 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Francisco Alvarez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Francisco Alvarez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Henry Davis — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Jorge Polanco — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
