What this shows — how Paul Clemons called the 109 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 102 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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.
- 1Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Caleb Durbin — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Jahmai Jones — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Brayan Rocchio — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Adley Rutschman — 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.
