What this shows — how Tripp Gibson called the 208 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 191 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: Will Smith — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).1Challenge 2: Gary Sánchez — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).2Challenge 3: Teoscar Hernández — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled strike (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).3Challenge 4: Will Smith — the ump called it a strike, the robot ruled ball (OVERTURNED — ump overruled).4Challenge 5: Gary Sánchez — the ump called it a ball, the robot ruled ball (upheld — ump confirmed).5

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

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.

  1. 1Will Smith — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  2. 2Gary Sánchez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Teoscar Hernández — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  4. 4Will Smith — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Gary Sánchez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
