Home plate: Edwin Jimenez
“Squeezed the edges; the hitters didn't mind at all.”
What this shows — how Edwin Jimenez called the 167 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 153 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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 · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Austin Wells — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
