Home plate: Malachi Moore
“Nothing that'll trend, and on this beat that's a compliment.”
What this shows — how Malachi Moore called the 138 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 129 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.
- 1Christian Walker — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Christian Vázquez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Gary Sánchez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Isaac Paredes — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 5Brice Turang — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
