BOS @ BAL
Home plate: Andy Fletcher
“Borderline went to the battery all night.”
What this shows — how Andy Fletcher called the 182 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 163 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▼1 · 1-2 strike called ball
Taylor Ward vs Garrett Crochet - 2-0.19▲7 · 2-0 ball called strike
Jarren Duran vs Albert Suárez - 3-0.13▲2 · 1-1 ball called strike
Wilyer Abreu vs Tyler Wells
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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Adley Rutschman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Ceddanne Rafaela — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Connor Wong — 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.
