What this shows — how Emil Jimenez called the 140 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 133 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: Jonah Heim — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).1Challenge 2: Jonah Heim — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Carlos Cortes — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Jonah Heim — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Carlos Narváez — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).5Challenge 6: Alika Williams — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled strike (upheld — ump confirmed).6Challenge 7: Carlos Narváez — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).7

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

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

  1. 1Jonah Heim — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Jonah Heim — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Carlos Cortes — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Jonah Heim — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Carlos Narváez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  6. 6Alika Williams — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  7. 7Carlos Narváez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
