ATL @ NYM
Home plate: Scott Barry
“Squeezed the edges; the hitters didn't mind at all.”
What this shows — how Scott Barry called the 139 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 128 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+0.69▲2 · 3-2 strike called ball
Michael Harris II vs Sean Manaea - 2-0.21▼6 · 3-0 ball called strike
Tyrone Taylor vs Victor Mederos - 3+0.20▼2 · 2-1 strike called ball
Jared Young vs AJ Smith-Shawver
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
2 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Joey Bart — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Francisco Alvarez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
