Home plate: Roberto Ortiz
“Nothing off the plate, and not much on the black either.”
What this shows — how Roberto Ortiz called the 150 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 140 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
- 1+0.28▲6 · 1-2 strike called ball
Nasim Nuñez vs Phil Maton - 2+0.20▼6 · 2-1 strike called ball
Ian Happ vs PJ Poulin - 3+0.19▲6 · 2-0 strike called ball
Daylen Lile vs Shota Imanaga
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.
- 1Keibert Ruiz — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Carson Kelly — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Nasim Nuñez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Carson Kelly — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: 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.
