Home plate: Ramon De Jesus
“The players kept asking for a second opinion — and kept getting one.”
What this shows — how Ramon De Jesus called the 136 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 125 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+0.30▼4 · 3-1 strike called ball
Bryce Eldridge vs Gage Jump - 2+0.28▲3 · 1-2 strike called ball
Lawrence Butler vs Tyler Mahle - 3-0.21▼8 · 3-0 ball called strike
Drew Gilbert vs Luis Medina
Run impact from the count run-value table: a missed strike three is worth far more than one on 3-0.
