What this shows — how Adam Hamari called the 138 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 132 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: Cal Raleigh — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Cole Young — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2

The calls that moved the game

  1. 1+0.281 · 1-2 strike called ball
    Josh Naylor vs Dylan Cease
  2. 2+0.197 · 2-0 strike called ball
    Cal Raleigh vs Mason Fluharty
  3. 3-0.198 · 2-0 ball called strike
    Randy Arozarena vs Paul Sewald

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

2 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Cal Raleigh — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Cole Young — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
