“Borderline went to the battery all night.”
What this shows — how Emil Jimenez called the 151 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 140 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
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.
- 1Brett Sullivan — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Vimael Machín — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Leo Bernal — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Joshua Báez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 5Blas Castaño — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
