ATL @ MIA
Home plate: Lance Barrett
“Down the middle. Both dugouts had the same zone.”
What this shows — how Lance Barrett called the 125 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 116 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
- 1-0.21▲2 · 3-0 ball called strike
Mike Yastrzemski vs Janson Junk - 2+0.13▲3 · 1-1 strike called ball
Matt Olson vs Janson Junk - 3-0.13▲9 · 1-1 ball called strike
Sandy León vs Javier Sanoja
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
2 pitches went to the robots · 1 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.
- 2Austin Riley — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
