Home plate: Gabe Morales
“Solid and unspectacular — exactly what the job asks.”
What this shows — how Gabe Morales called the 177 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 168 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

Brewer Hicklen vs Wandy Peralta - 3-0.19▲3 · 2-0 ball called strike
Fernando Tatis Jr. vs Martín Pérez
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.
- 1Luis Campusano — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Austin Riley — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Luis Campusano — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Drake Baldwin — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
