What this shows — how Jim Wolf called the 127 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 117 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

8 pitches went to the robots · 6 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Brian Serven — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Victor Caratini — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Victor Caratini — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Luke Keaschall — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Victor Caratini — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  6. 6Brian Serven — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  7. 7Ryan Kreidler — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  8. 8Ryan Jeffers — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 6 of 8 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
