What this shows — how Stu Scheurwater called the 150 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.

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. 1Austin Wells — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Bryan Woo — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Cal Raleigh — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Austin Wells — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5Colt Emerson — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  6. 6Jazz Chisholm Jr. — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
