Home plate: Ramon De Jesus
“Tonight's zone had a rooting interest.”
What this shows — how Ramon De Jesus called the 152 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 142 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+0.69▲5 · 3-2 strike called ball
Freddie Freeman vs Michael King - 2+0.28▲5 · 1-2 strike called ball
Tommy Edman vs Yuki Matsui - 3-0.21▲5 · 3-0 ball called strike
Alex Freeland vs Michael King
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.
- 1Michael King — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Andy Pages — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Kyle Tucker — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Freddy Fermin — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
