What this shows — how Andy Fletcher called the 137 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 131 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

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

9 pitches went to the robots · 6 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Ronald Acuña Jr. — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Sean Murphy — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Sean Murphy — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Sean Murphy — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Luis Torrens — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Luis Torrens — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  7. 7Luis Torrens — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  8. 8A.J. Ewing — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  9. 9Sean Murphy — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 9 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
