Home plate: Alan Porter
“Down the middle. Both dugouts had the same zone.”
What this shows — how Alan Porter called the 169 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 157 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

Everson Pereira vs Max Fried - 2-0.13▲5 · 1-1 ball called strike
Max Schuemann vs Trevor Richards - 3-0.13▼9 · 1-1 ball called strike
Miguel Vargas vs Camilo Doval
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
6 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Max Schuemann — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Ali Sánchez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Edgar Quero — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Edgar Quero — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
