Home plate: Jansen Visconti
“Solid and unspectacular — exactly what the job asks.”
What this shows — how Jansen Visconti called the 162 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 155 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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
5 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Gabriel Moreno — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Evan Carter — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Alejandro Osuna — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Gabriel Moreno — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Cal Quantrill — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
