“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Adam Beck called the 164 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 154 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
- 1-0.28▼9 · 1-2 ball called strike
Luis García Jr. vs Jhoan Duran - 2-0.20▼3 · 2-1 ball called strike
CJ Abrams vs Aaron Nola - 3-0.20▼3 · 2-1 ball called strike
Daylen Lile vs Aaron Nola
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
5 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1J.T. Realmuto — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2CJ Abrams — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Alec Bohm — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Trea Turner — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Drew Millas — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
