Home plate: James Hoye
“Reliable as a Tuesday: no complaints, no headlines.”
What this shows — how James Hoye called the 140 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 132 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
- 1-0.39▲6 · 2-2 ball called strike
Carson Benge vs Trey Yesavage - 2-0.21▼1 · 3-0 ball called strike
Ernie Clement vs Sean Manaea - 3-0.13▼7 · 1-1 ball called strike
George Springer vs Austin Warren
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 · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Mark Vientos — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2George Springer — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3A.J. Ewing — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Mark Vientos — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
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.
