Home plate: Dexter Kelley
“Pitchers found a little extra real estate.”
What this shows — how Dexter Kelley called the 113 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 102 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▲4 · 1-2 ball called strike
Esteury Ruiz vs Kyle Freeland - 2-0.20▲2 · 2-1 ball called strike
Leo Jiménez vs Kyle Freeland - 3-0.19▲2 · 2-0 ball called strike
Javier Sanoja vs Kyle Freeland
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
3 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Esteury Ruiz — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Mickey Moniak — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
