Home plate: James Jean
“Textbook top to bottom — a quiet masterclass.”
What this shows — how James Jean called the 117 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 113 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+0.23▼2 · 0-2 strike called ball
Griffin Conine vs Jacob deGrom - 2-0.10▼6 · 0-1 ball called strike
Heriberto Hernández vs Jacob deGrom - 3-0.09▼6 · 0-0 ball called strike
Heriberto Hernández vs Jacob deGrom
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 · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Leo Jiménez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Brian Navarreto — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
