Home plate: Adam Hamari
“Both benches went home with nothing to say — the rarest kind of night.”
What this shows — how Adam Hamari called the 195 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 187 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+0.13▼2 · 1-1 strike called ball
Noelvi Marte vs Shane Drohan - 2+0.13▲1 · 1-0 strike called ball
Christian Yelich vs Rhett Lowder - 3+0.10▲4 · 0-1 strike called ball
David Hamilton vs Rhett Lowder
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
3 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Eugenio Suárez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Blake Dunn — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
