TOR @ ATL
Home plate: Carlos Torres
“The plate grew a few inches after the first pitch.”
What this shows — how Carlos Torres called the 173 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 153 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.

- 2Sandy León — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Ronald Acuña Jr. — 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.
