What this shows — how Tyler Jones called the 171 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 161 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: Otto Lopez — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: J.T. Realmuto — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Justin Crawford — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Trea Turner — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Bryson Stott — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).5Challenge 6: J.T.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

7 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Otto Lopez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2J.T. Realmuto — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Justin Crawford — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Trea Turner — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Bryson Stott — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  6. 6J.T. Realmuto — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  7. 7Victor Vodnik — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 6 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
