“Down the middle. Both dugouts had the same zone.”
What this shows — how Chris Conroy called the 171 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 161 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
- 1-0.28▲6 · 1-2 ball called strike
Jonny DeLuca vs Lazaro Estrada - 2+0.20▲2 · 2-1 strike called ball
Nick Fortes vs Kevin Gausman - 3-0.13▲9 · 1-1 ball called strike
Junior Caminero vs Myles Straw
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
4 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Ernie Clement — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Nick Fortes — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Cedric Mullins — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
