Home plate: Jonathan Parra
“Down the middle. Both dugouts had the same zone.”
What this shows — how Jonathan Parra called the 172 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 161 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▼7 · 1-2 strike called ball
Carson Benge vs Tim Hill - 2-0.23▼6 · 0-2 ball called strike
Luis Torrens vs Brent Headrick - 3-0.21▲3 · 3-0 ball called strike
Paul Goldschmidt vs David Peterson
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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Austin Wells — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Luis Torrens — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Juan Soto — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Trent Grisham — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
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.
