Home plate: Emil Jimenez
“The kind of night where the umpire is the least of the story.”
What this shows — how Emil Jimenez called the 188 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 174 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
4 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Willi Castro — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Rafael Devers — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Braxton Fulford — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Daniel Susac — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
