“Nothing that'll trend, and on this beat that's a compliment.”
What this shows — how Alex Tosi called the 169 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 157 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+0.23▲4 · 0-2 strike called ball
Cedric Mullins vs Hunter Brown - 2-0.19▼3 · 2-0 ball called strike
Yordan Alvarez vs Drew Rasmussen - 3-0.13▲2 · 1-0 ball called strike
Jonny DeLuca vs Hunter Brown
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
6 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Junior Caminero — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Cedric Mullins — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Junior Caminero — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 6 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
