“An honest evening's grade: nothing loud, nothing missed by much.”
What this shows — how Manny Gonzalez called the 149 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 138 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.
