CLE @ PHI
Home plate: Mark Wegner
“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Mark Wegner called the 150 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 140 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+0.23▼8 · 0-2 strike called ball
Bryson Stott vs Hunter Gaddis - 2+0.20▼7 · 2-1 strike called ball
Trea Turner vs Tim Herrin - 3-0.19▲9 · 2-0 ball called strike
Petey Halpin vs Tanner Banks
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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Austin Hedges — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Kyle Schwarber — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Adolis García — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Alec Bohm — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Brayan Rocchio — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
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.
