BAL @ TOR
Home plate: Edwin Moscoso
“A steady night's work behind the plate.”
What this shows — how Edwin Moscoso called the 143 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 135 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.
The zone, as he called it
The calls that moved the game
- 1+0.39▲2 · 2-2 strike called ball
Colton Cowser vs Spencer Miles - 2-0.30▲7 · 3-1 ball called strike
Taylor Ward vs Mason Fluharty - 3-0.21▼3 · 3-0 ball called strike
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. vs Kyle Bradish
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
2 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Adley Rutschman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Adley Rutschman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
