“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Mike Muchlinski called the 194 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 183 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+0.21▼2 · 3-0 strike called ball
Grant McCray vs Logan Henderson - 2+0.13▼2 · 1-0 strike called ball
Grant McCray vs Logan Henderson - 3-0.13▲3 · 1-0 ball called strike
Brice Turang vs Landen Roupp
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 · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Rafael Devers — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 1 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
