What this shows — how Tripp Gibson called the 166 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 156 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: Keibert Ruiz — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Ezequiel Tovar — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Brady House — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).3Challenge 4: Keibert Ruiz — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Cole Carrigg — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).5Challenge 6: TJ Rumfield — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).6Challenge 7: Keibert Ruiz — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).7

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

7 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Keibert Ruiz — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Ezequiel Tovar — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Brady House — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Keibert Ruiz — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Cole Carrigg — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  6. 6TJ Rumfield — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  7. 7Keibert Ruiz — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
