Home plate: Mike Muchlinski
“Corner-to-corner and then some.”
What this shows — how Mike Muchlinski called the 194 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 180 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

Jacob Young vs Connor Phillips - 2+0.39▼3 · 2-2 strike called ball
TJ Friedl vs Miles Mikolas - 3-0.21▲4 · 3-0 ball called strike
José Tena vs Brady Singer
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
6 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1CJ Abrams — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Elly De La Cruz — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Matt McLain — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Keibert Ruiz — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 5Keibert Ruiz — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 6Nathaniel Lowe — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
