BAL @ DET
Home plate: Bill Miller
“Nothing that'll trend, and on this beat that's a compliment.”
What this shows — how Bill Miller called the 159 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 150 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

Taylor Ward vs Drew Anderson - 2+0.19▲5 · 2-0 strike called ball
Leody Taveras vs Keider Montero - 3+0.13▲6 · 1-1 strike called ball
Taylor Ward vs Drew Anderson
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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Chadwick Tromp — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Kevin McGonigle — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Chadwick Tromp — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
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.
