Home plate: Adrian Johnson
“The plate grew a few inches after the first pitch.”
What this shows — how Adrian Johnson called the 199 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 171 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
3 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Cal Raleigh — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
