“Somebody's pitching staff sent a thank-you note.”
What this shows — how D.J. Reyburn called the 189 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 174 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.
