Home plate: Shane Livensparger
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how Shane Livensparger called the 126 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 117 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
- 1-0.69▼1 · 3-2 ball called strike
Casey Schmitt vs Max Meyer - 2-0.21▼6 · 3-0 ball called strike
Casey Schmitt vs Calvin Faucher - 3-0.13▲8 · 1-1 ball called strike
Graham Pauley vs Landen Roupp
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
4 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Jakob Marsee — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Patrick Bailey — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
