What this shows — how Tom Hanahan called the 161 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 143 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System

8 pitches went to the robots · 7 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Dillon Dingler — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  3. 3Spencer Torkelson — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Steven Kwan — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Dillon Dingler — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Patrick Bailey — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  7. 7Chase DeLauter — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  8. 8Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 8 of 8 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
