TEX @ DET
Home plate: Marvin Hudson
“Two dugouts, and only one of them smiling.”
What this shows — how Marvin Hudson called the 138 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 127 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
- 1-0.30▲3 · 3-1 ball called strike
Danny Jansen vs Keider Montero - 2+0.28▼3 · 1-2 strike called ball
Riley Greene vs Cal Quantrill - 3+0.23▼6 · 0-2 strike called ball
Spencer Torkelson vs Peyton Gray
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
1 pitch went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Dillon Dingler — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 1 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
