Home plate: Tom Hanahan
“A steady night's work behind the plate.”
What this shows — how Tom Hanahan called the 167 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 157 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
4 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Dillon Dingler — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Dillon Dingler — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Dillon Dingler — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Austin Hedges — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: 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.
