Home plate: Brian O'Nora
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how Brian O'Nora called the 165 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 157 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
- 1-0.21▲8 · 3-0 ball called strike
Teoscar Hernández vs Orion Kerkering - 2-0.20▲5 · 2-1 ball called strike
Tommy Edman vs Aaron Nola - 3-0.13▼1 · 1-0 ball called strike
Trea Turner vs Eric Lauer
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.
- 1Andy Pages — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Rafael Marchán — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Freddie Freeman — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Dalton Rushing — 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.
