BOS @ KC
Home plate: James Jean
“Reliable as a Tuesday: no complaints, no headlines.”
What this shows — how James Jean called the 162 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 156 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

Salvador Perez vs Ranger Suarez - 3-0.13▲5 · 1-0 ball called strike

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.
- 1Salvador Perez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Nick Loftin — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Carlos Narváez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Carter Jensen — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
