What this shows — how Edwin Jimenez called the 157 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 147 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: Luis Campusano — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Sung-Mun Song — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Luis Torrens — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Luis Torrens — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Xander Bogaerts — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).5Challenge 6: Luis Campusano — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).6Challenge 7: Luis Torrens — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).7

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

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. 1Luis Campusano — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  2. 2Sung-Mun Song — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Luis Torrens — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Luis Torrens — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Xander Bogaerts — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Luis Campusano — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  7. 7Luis Torrens — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
