Home plate: Jansen Visconti
“A steady night's work behind the plate.”
What this shows — how Jansen Visconti called the 149 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.

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.
- 1Salvador Perez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Kevin McGonigle — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Jake Rogers — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Jac Caglianone — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: 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.
