MIN @ HOU
Home plate: Brennan Miller
“A tilt to the evening — the numbers say which way.”
What this shows — how Brennan Miller called the 142 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 133 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

Christian Walker vs Travis Adams - 2+0.30▲2 · 3-1 strike called ball
Victor Caratini vs Peter Lambert - 3+0.30▲3 · 3-1 strike called ball
Tristan Gray vs Peter Lambert
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
1 pitch went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Nick Allen — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 1 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
