PHI @ ATL
Home plate: Dexter Kelley
“The black wasn't in play tonight.”
What this shows — how Dexter Kelley called the 129 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 119 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
Garrett Stubbs vs Joel Payamps - 2+0.28▲9 · 1-2 strike called ball
Kyle Schwarber vs Robert Suarez - 3-0.20▼8 · 2-1 ball called strike
Mike Yastrzemski vs Tim Mayza
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 · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Bryce Harper — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Drake Baldwin — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Matt Olson — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
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.
