“Corner-to-corner and then some.”
What this shows — how Gabe Morales called the 122 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 110 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
5 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Tristan Gray — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Luke Keaschall — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Josh Bell — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Josh Bell — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 5Victor Caratini — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
