Home plate: Tripp Gibson
“Nothing that'll trend, and on this beat that's a compliment.”
What this shows — how Tripp Gibson called the 130 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 124 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

Run impact from the count run-value table: a missed strike three is worth far more than one on 3-0.

5 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Josh Naylor — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Josh Naylor — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Vinnie Pasquantino — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Carter Jensen — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 5Maikel Garcia — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: 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.
