PHI @ MIA
Home plate: Dan Bellino
“Reliable as a Tuesday: no complaints, no headlines.”
What this shows — how Dan Bellino called the 159 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 154 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
- 1-0.13▲9 · 1-1 ball called strike
Kyle Schwarber vs Calvin Faucher - 2-0.13▲6 · 1-0 ball called strike
Alec Bohm vs Cade Gibson - 3+0.13▼9 · 1-0 strike called ball
Otto Lopez vs Jhoan Duran
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 · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Alec Bohm — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2J.T. Realmuto — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Joe Mack — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Heriberto Hernández — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 0 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
