PHI @ DET
Home plate: Vic Carapazza
“An honest evening's grade: nothing loud, nothing missed by much.”
What this shows — how Vic Carapazza called the 120 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 114 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

Brandon Marsh vs Casey Mize - 2-0.19▲6 · 2-0 ball called strike
Alec Bohm vs Casey Mize - 3-0.13▼2 · 1-1 ball called strike
Spencer Torkelson vs Cristopher Sánchez
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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Spencer Torkelson — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Trea Turner — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Drew Anderson — 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.
