Home plate: Edwin Moscoso
“The kind of night where the umpire is the least of the story.”
What this shows — how Edwin Moscoso called the 127 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 118 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+0.23▼4 · 0-2 strike called ball
Teoscar Hernández vs Emerson Hancock - 2+0.19▲6 · 2-0 strike called ball
Cole Young vs Eric Lauer - 3+0.13▼6 · 1-1 strike called ball
Andy Pages vs Michael Rucker
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.
- 1Randy Arozarena — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Cal Raleigh — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Dalton Rushing — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
