CLE @ MIL
Home plate: Ryan Additon
“Solid and unspectacular — exactly what the job asks.”
What this shows — how Ryan Additon called the 153 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.
The zone, as he called it
The calls that moved the game
- 1+0.39▼6 · 2-2 strike called ball
Brice Turang vs Slade Cecconi - 2-0.20▼4 · 2-1 ball called strike
Brice Turang vs Slade Cecconi - 3+0.13▲2 · 1-0 strike called ball
Kyle Manzardo vs Robert Gasser
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 · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
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.
