“Corner-to-corner and then some.”
What this shows — how David Rackley called the 165 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 151 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▲2 · 0-2 strike called ball
Ryan Kreidler vs Tanner Bibee - 2+0.20▼6 · 2-1 strike called ball
Daniel Schneemann vs Tommy Nance - 3-0.13▲4 · 1-1 ball called strike
Alan Roden vs Tanner Bibee
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
5 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Patrick Bailey — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Victor Caratini — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Travis Bazzana — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Brayan Rocchio — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Trevor Larnach — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
