Home plate: Jordan Baker
“The grade leaned — the ledger says which way.”
What this shows — how Jordan Baker called the 143 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 133 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+0.69▼3 · 3-2 strike called ball
Curtis Mead vs Eduardo Rodriguez - 2-0.30▲6 · 3-1 ball called strike
Nolan Arenado vs Zack Littell - 3+0.23▼5 · 0-2 strike called ball
Andrés Chaparro vs Eduardo Rodriguez
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
3 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Harry Ford — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Harry Ford — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Harry Ford — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 0 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
