What this shows — how Stu Scheurwater called the 135 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 121 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: Drew Cavanaugh — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Austin Hedges — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Nathaniel Lowe — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).3Challenge 4: Drew Cavanaugh — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Drew Cavanaugh — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).5Challenge 6: Drew Cavanaugh — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).6

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

  1. 1Drew Cavanaugh — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Austin Hedges — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Nathaniel Lowe — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Drew Cavanaugh — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Drew Cavanaugh — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  6. 6Drew Cavanaugh — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
