Home plate: Lance Barrett
“Down the middle. Both dugouts had the same zone.”
What this shows — how Lance Barrett called the 208 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 196 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

José Ramírez vs Brady Singer - 2-0.19▲7 · 2-0 ball called strike
Steven Kwan vs Julian Garcia - 3-0.19▼9 · 2-0 ball called strike
JJ Bleday vs Cade Smith
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 · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Elly De La Cruz — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
