What this shows — how Felix Neon called the 150 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.

The zone, as he called it

Challenge 1: Brian Serven — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Lawrence Butler — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Zach Neto — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Jonah Heim — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).4

The calls that moved the game

  1. 1+0.28▲2 · 1-2 strike called ball
    Denzer Guzman vs Jeffrey Springs
  2. 2+0.21▲5 · 3-0 strike called ball
    Zach Neto vs Geoff Hartlieb
  3. 3-0.19▼2 · 2-0 ball called strike
    Henry Bolte vs Walbert Ureña

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

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

  1. 1Brian Serven — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Lawrence Butler — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Zach Neto — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Jonah Heim — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
