What this shows — how Carlos Torres called the 147 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 136 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

6 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Zach Neto — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Nick Sogard — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Jarren Duran — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Mickey Gasper — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Caleb Durbin — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  6. 6Tyler Heineman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
