PIT @ CIN
Home plate: Jordan Baker
“Expanded the plate a touch past its 17 inches.”
What this shows — how Jordan Baker called the 190 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.
The zone, as he called it
The calls that moved the game
- 1+0.39▲4 · 2-2 strike called ball
Nick Yorke vs Brandon Williamson - 2-0.39▲6 · 2-2 ball called strike
Oneil Cruz vs Brock Burke - 3-0.30▼5 · 3-1 ball called strike
TJ Friedl vs Bubba Chandler
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
3 pitches went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Sal Stewart — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Dane Myers — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Nick Gonzales — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
