Home plate: Paul Clemons
“An honest evening's grade: nothing loud, nothing missed by much.”
What this shows — how Paul Clemons called the 144 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 139 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▲8 · 1-2 strike called ball
Matt Chapman vs Tony Santillan - 2-0.13▼2 · 1-0 ball called strike
Eugenio Suárez vs Robbie Ray - 3-0.09▼3 · 0-0 ball called strike
Ke'Bryan Hayes vs Robbie Ray
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
1 pitch went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Dane Myers — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 0 of 1 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
