TEX @ BAL
Home plate: Scott Barry
“A steady night's work behind the plate.”
What this shows — how Scott Barry called the 143 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 135 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▼1 · 2-2 strike called ball
Adley Rutschman vs Jacob deGrom - 2-0.13▲2 · 1-0 ball called strike
Jake Burger vs Zach Eflin - 3-0.10▼3 · 0-1 ball called strike
Blaze Alexander vs Jacob deGrom
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
2 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Gunnar Henderson — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Josh Smith — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
