Home plate: Bill Miller
“The strike zone picked a side, and wasn't shy about it.”
What this shows — how Bill Miller called the 121 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 110 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
6 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Jo Adell — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 5Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 6Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
