TOR @ SEA
Home plate: Paul Clemons
“Pitchers found a little extra real estate.”
What this shows — how Paul Clemons called the 145 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
- 1+0.39▲7 · 2-2 strike called ball
Nathan Lukes vs José A. Ferrer - 2-0.21▲7 · 3-0 ball called strike
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. vs José A. Ferrer - 3+0.19▲7 · 2-0 strike called ball
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. vs José A. Ferrer
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.
- 1Randy Arozarena — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Randy Arozarena — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Alejandro Kirk — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
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.
