TOR @ BOS
Home plate: Paul Clemons
“Down the middle. Both dugouts had the same zone.”
What this shows — how Paul Clemons called the 113 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 108 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System
3 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Jarren Duran — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Brandon Valenzuela — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Wilyer Abreu — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
