What this shows — how Manny Gonzalez called the 142 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 129 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: Wilyer Abreu — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Joe Mack — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Joe Mack — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).3Challenge 4: Kyle Stowers — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Anthony Seigler — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).5Challenge 6: Caleb Durbin — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (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. 1Wilyer Abreu — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Joe Mack — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Joe Mack — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Kyle Stowers — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Anthony Seigler — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  6. 6Caleb Durbin — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

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