Home plate: Ramon De Jesus
“Solid and unspectacular — exactly what the job asks.”
What this shows — how Ramon De Jesus called the 155 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 144 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

Richie Palacios vs Eury Pérez - 2+0.30▲3 · 3-1 strike called ball· challenged ✓
Otto Lopez vs Drew Rasmussen - 3-0.28▲8 · 1-2 ball called strike· challenged
Liam Hicks vs Garrett Cleavinger
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.
- 1Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Nick Fortes — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Liam Hicks — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Jakob Marsee — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
