Home plate: Tripp Gibson
“Reliable as a Tuesday: no complaints, no headlines.”
What this shows — how Tripp Gibson called the 127 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 120 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

Josh Naylor vs Nathan Eovaldi - 2+0.13▲2 · 1-0 strike called ball
Josh Naylor vs Nathan Eovaldi - 3-0.10▲6 · 0-1 ball called strike
Cole Young vs Nathan Eovaldi
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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Austin Wynns — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Austin Wynns — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Josh Naylor — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Cal Raleigh — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
