Home plate: Chris Conroy
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how Chris Conroy called the 155 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 148 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
- 1-0.39▼5 · 2-2 ball called strike
Munetaka Murakami vs Stephen Kolek - 2-0.39▲6 · 2-2 ball called strike· challenged ✓
Carter Jensen vs Tyler Schweitzer - 3+0.28▲1 · 1-2 strike called ball
Vinnie Pasquantino vs Erick Fedde
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
3 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Carter Jensen — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Salvador Perez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Drew Romo — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
