Home plate: Emil Jimenez
“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Emil Jimenez called the 160 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 149 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+0.39▼3 · 2-2 strike called ball
Jakob Marsee vs Davis Martin - 2-0.28▼9 · 1-2 ball called strike
Jakob Marsee vs Jordan Hicks - 3+0.21▼3 · 3-0 strike called ball
Griffin Conine vs Davis Martin
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 · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Munetaka Murakami — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Edgar Quero — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 5Edgar Quero — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
