What this shows — how Mike Estabrook called the 136 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 127 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
6 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Sam Antonacci — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Kyle Teel — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Kyle Teel — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Iván Herrera — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 5Miguel Vargas — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 6Ramón Urías — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 6 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
