ATH @ LAA
Home plate: Chris Guccione
“An honest evening's grade: nothing loud, nothing missed by much.”
What this shows — how Chris Guccione called the 154 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 143 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+0.30▲2 · 3-1 strike called ball
Henry Bolte vs Jack Kochanowicz - 2+0.13▲6 · 1-1 strike called ball
Zack Gelof vs Jack Kochanowicz - 3+0.13▼6 · 1-1 strike called ball
Oswald Peraza vs Luis Medina
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
5 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Logan O'Hoppe — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Carlos Cortes — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Shea Langeliers — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Brent Rooker — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Zach Neto — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
