Home plate: Chris Conroy
“The kind of night where the umpire is the least of the story.”
What this shows — how Chris Conroy called the 138 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.

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
5 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Danny Jansen — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Danny Jansen — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Jake Burger — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Logan O'Hoppe — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
