Home plate: Vic Carapazza
“A steady night's work behind the plate.”
What this shows — how Vic Carapazza called the 139 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 129 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+0.39▲4 · 2-2 strike called ball
Rob Refsnyder vs Justin Wrobleski - 2-0.30▲1 · 3-1 ball called strike
Randy Arozarena vs Justin Wrobleski - 3+0.10▼9 · 0-1 strike called ball
Max Muncy vs Andrés Muñoz
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 · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Dalton Rushing — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Josh Naylor — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Cal Raleigh — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
