ATL @ NYM
Home plate: Manny Gonzalez
“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Manny Gonzalez called the 135 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▼1 · 2-2 strike called ball
Luis Robert Jr. vs Chris Sale - 2-0.13▲7 · 1-0 ball called strike
Jim Jarvis vs A.J. Minter - 3+0.10▼5 · 0-1 strike called ball
Marcus Semien vs Chris Sale
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.
- 1Bo Bichette — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Luis Torrens — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Luis Torrens — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Tyrone Taylor — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
