Home plate: Lance Barrett
“Nothing that'll trend, and on this beat that's a compliment.”
What this shows — how Lance Barrett called the 125 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 121 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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 · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Jesus Rodriguez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Christian Koss — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Carter Jensen — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Nick Loftin — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 5Carter Jensen — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
