Home plate: Chris Guccione
“Both benches went home with nothing to say — the rarest kind of night.”
What this shows — how Chris Guccione called the 131 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 127 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+0.10▼2 · 0-1 strike called ball
Max Kepler vs Brandon Woodruff - 2+0.09▲3 · 0-0 strike called ball
Joey Ortiz vs Merrill Kelly - 3+0.09▲5 · 0-0 strike called ball
Garrett Mitchell vs Merrill Kelly
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
2 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is Hawkeye ground truth, no model involved.
- 1William Contreras — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Corbin Carroll — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
