Home plate: James Hoye
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how James Hoye called the 155 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 145 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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Daniel Susac — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Nolan Arenado — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Daniel Susac — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Gabriel Moreno — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 5Daniel Susac — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
