ATL @ BAL
Home plate: D.J. Reyburn
“Down the middle. Both dugouts had the same zone.”
What this shows — how D.J. Reyburn called the 149 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 142 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+0.23▲8 · 0-2 strike called ball
Mauricio Dubón vs Rico Garcia - 2-0.21▼3 · 3-0 ball called strike
Christian Encarnacion-Strand vs Bryce Elder - 3+0.09▲1 · 0-0 strike called ball
Drake Baldwin vs Brandon Young
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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Matt Olson — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Chadwick Tromp — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Matt Olson — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Chadwick Tromp — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 5Matt Olson — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
