What this shows — how Dan Iassogna called the 118 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 107 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

6 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.

  1. 1Joey Bart — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  2. 2Joey Bart — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  3. 3Joey Bart — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  4. 4Iván Herrera — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
  5. 5Bryan Torres — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Joey Bart — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
