“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Tom Hanahan called the 137 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 130 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

Enrique Hernández vs Nick Lodolo - 3-0.21▲9 · 3-0 ball called strike

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
3 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1JJ Bleday — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Tyler Stephenson — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Alex Freeland — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
