“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Tripp Gibson called the 109 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 104 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
5 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Andrew Knizner — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Freddie Freeman — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Andrew Knizner — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Marcelo Mayer — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 5Christian Koss — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
