Home plate: Ryan Additon
“Nothing that'll trend, and on this beat that's a compliment.”
What this shows — how Ryan Additon called the 184 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 178 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+0.13▲8 · 1-0 strike called ball
Braden Montgomery vs Robby Ahlstrom - 2-0.13▲8 · 1-0 ball called strike
Chase Meidroth vs Robby Ahlstrom - 3+0.10▲3 · 0-1 strike called ball
Munetaka Murakami vs Jacob deGrom
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 · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Elias Díaz — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Drew Romo — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Ezequiel Duran — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
