Home plate: Charlie Ramos
“The robots earned their keep tonight.”
What this shows — how Charlie Ramos called the 138 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 129 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
5 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 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.
- 2Salvador Perez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Cody Bellinger — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Maikel Garcia — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 5Salvador Perez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
