“You had to throw it down Broadway to get the call.”
What this shows — how Mike Estabrook called the 190 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 175 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+0.39▼1 · 2-2 strike called ball
Max Muncy vs Colin Rea - 2+0.28▲2 · 1-2 strike called ball
Seiya Suzuki vs Roki Sasaki - 3-0.20▼3 · 2-1 ball called strike
Teoscar Hernández vs Colin Rea
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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Dalton Rushing — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Kyle Tucker — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Miguel Amaya — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Miguel Amaya — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 5Miguel Amaya — 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.
