COL @ PHI
Home plate: Vic Carapazza
“Reliable as a Tuesday: no complaints, no headlines.”
What this shows — how Vic Carapazza called the 198 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 184 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+0.28▼1 · 1-2 strike called ball
Kyle Schwarber vs Chase Dollander - 2+0.19▼3 · 2-0 strike called ball
Justin Crawford vs Chase Dollander - 3+0.19▼6 · 2-0 strike called ball
Bryson Stott vs Jaden Hill
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
2 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2J.T. Realmuto — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
