What this shows — how Charlie Ramos called the 206 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 194 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: Justin Foscue — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Elias Díaz — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Jake Rogers — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).3Challenge 4: Brandon Nimmo — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: MacKenzie Gore — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).5Challenge 6: Elias Díaz — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).6Challenge 7: Jakob Junis — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).7

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

7 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Justin Foscue — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Elias Díaz — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Jake Rogers — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Brandon Nimmo — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5MacKenzie Gore — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  6. 6Elias Díaz — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  7. 7Jakob Junis — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
