Home plate: Alan Porter
“You had to throw it down Broadway to get the call.”
What this shows — how Alan Porter called the 142 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 134 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▲3 · 1-2 strike called ball
Austin Wells vs Jacob Misiorowski - 2+0.23▼2 · 0-2 strike called ball
Gary Sánchez vs Max Fried - 3+0.13▲8 · 1-1 strike called ball
Paul Goldschmidt vs Shane Drohan
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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Max Fried — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Austin Wells — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Jackson Chourio — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
