What this shows — how Brian Walsh called the 139 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 128 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

6 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Garrett Stubbs — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Garrett Stubbs — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Garrett Stubbs — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Cal Raleigh — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5Alec Bohm — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  6. 6Cal Raleigh — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
