Home plate: Brennan Miller
“The zone stretched its legs.”
What this shows — how Brennan Miller called the 118 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 110 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

Ben Williamson vs Shane Bieber - 2-0.19▲2 · 2-0 ball called strike
Chandler Simpson vs Shane Bieber - 3+0.13▼1 · 1-1 strike called ball
Yohendrick Piñango vs Casey Legumina
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.
- 1Alejandro Kirk — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Jonny DeLuca — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Myles Straw — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Myles Straw — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 5Ben Williamson — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
