Home plate: Derek Thomas
“Nothing that'll trend, and on this beat that's a compliment.”
What this shows — how Derek Thomas called the 135 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 128 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+0.13▲6 · 1-1 strike called ball
Carson Benge vs Max Meyer - 2+0.13▼7 · 1-0 strike called ball· challenged
Otto Lopez vs Freddy Peralta - 3-0.10▼6 · 0-1 ball called strike
Owen Caissie vs Freddy Peralta
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
3 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Juan Soto — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Freddy Peralta — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Carson Benge — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
