What this shows — how Charlie Ramos called the 151 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 139 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

Run impact from the count run-value table: a missed strike three is worth far more than one on 3-0.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

6 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Connor Wong — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Brandon Valenzuela — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Connor Wong — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Connor Wong — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Brandon Valenzuela — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  6. 6Nick Sogard — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 6 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
