TOR @ BAL
Home plate: Tyler Jones
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how Tyler Jones called the 149 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 142 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
3 pitches went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Brandon Valenzuela — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Adley Rutschman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Adley Rutschman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
