Home plate: Gabe Morales
“An honest evening's grade: nothing loud, nothing missed by much.”
What this shows — how Gabe Morales called the 152 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 141 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▲7 · 1-2 strike called ball
Blake Perkins vs Tarik Skubal - 2-0.21▲7 · 3-0 ball called strike
Joey Ortiz vs Tyler Holton - 3-0.19▲9 · 2-0 ball called strike
Joey Ortiz vs Burch Smith
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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Gary Sánchez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Brandon Lockridge — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Gary Sánchez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
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.
