What this shows — how James Jean called the 112 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.

The zone, as he called it

Challenge 1: Sean Murphy — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Brian Navarreto — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).2Challenge 3: Brian Navarreto — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3

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

  1. 1Sean Murphy — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Brian Navarreto — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Brian Navarreto — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
