KC @ STL
Home plate: Ryan Additon
“Somebody's pitching staff sent a thank-you note.”
What this shows — how Ryan Additon called the 128 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 112 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+0.69▲4 · 3-2 strike called ball
Isaac Collins vs Kyle Leahy - 2-0.28▼3 · 1-2 ball called strike
Masyn Winn vs Noah Cameron - 3-0.23▼4 · 0-2 ball called strike
Alec Burleson vs Noah Cameron
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 · 2 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 ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Pedro Pagés — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
