What this shows — how Vic Carapazza called the 139 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 133 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

8 pitches went to the robots · 7 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Miguel Amaya — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  2. 2Ian Happ — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Dansby Swanson — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Heriberto Hernández — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Miguel Amaya — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Otto Lopez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  7. 7Pete Crow-Armstrong — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  8. 8Kyle Stowers — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 6 of 8 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
