TEX @ NYY
Home plate: Paul Clemons
“One side pitched to a slightly bigger plate.”
What this shows — how Paul Clemons called the 146 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 135 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▼8 · 3-2 strike called ball
Austin Wells vs Tyler Alexander - 2+0.20▲5 · 2-1 strike called ball
Jake Burger vs Elmer Rodríguez - 3+0.19▼3 · 2-0 strike called ball
Cody Bellinger vs Jacob deGrom
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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Corey Seager — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Austin Wells — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Danny Jansen — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Danny Jansen — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
