TOR @ BOS
Home plate: Manny Gonzalez
“Corner-to-corner and then some.”
What this shows — how Manny Gonzalez called the 109 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 100 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
- 1-0.21▼8 · 3-0 ball called strike
Mickey Gasper vs Tommy Nance - 2-0.13▼7 · 1-1 ball called strike
Willson Contreras vs Trey Yesavage - 3-0.13▼6 · 1-0 ball called strike
Connor Wong vs Trey Yesavage
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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Brandon Valenzuela — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Andrés Giménez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Ernie Clement — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
