LAA @ HOU
Home plate: John Tumpane
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how John Tumpane called the 175 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 167 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
The calls that moved the game

Isaac Paredes vs Ryan Zeferjahn - 3+0.28▼4 · 1-2 strike called ball
Brice Matthews vs Yusei Kikuchi
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
4 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Yainer Diaz — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Logan O'Hoppe — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Roddery Muñoz — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Jo Adell — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
