What this shows — how Todd Tichenor called the 175 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 161 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

7 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Tristan Peters — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Kyle Teel — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Kyle Teel — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  4. 4Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  5. 5Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  6. 6Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  7. 7Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 6 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
