5 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Daylen Lile — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Luis Campusano — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Luis Campusano — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Ethan Salas — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 5Keibert Ruiz — 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.
