BOS @ ATH
Home plate: Carlos Torres
“A steady night's work behind the plate.”
What this shows — how Carlos Torres called the 131 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 124 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+0.19▼1 · 2-0 strike called ball
Tommy White vs Payton Tolle - 2-0.19▲3 · 2-0 ball called strike
Connor Wong vs Jack Perkins - 3+0.19▲6 · 2-0 strike called ball
Willson Contreras vs Jack Perkins
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
1 pitch went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Jonah Heim — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 0 of 1 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
