What this shows — how Adrian Johnson called the 116 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 104 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: Jorge Mateo — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Freddy Peralta — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Colt Keith — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Liam Hicks — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Brett Callahan — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).5Challenge 6: Kenny Piper — 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 · 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. 1Jorge Mateo — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Freddy Peralta — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Colt Keith — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Brett Callahan — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  6. 6Kenny Piper — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
