BOS @ LAD
Home plate: Gabe Morales
“No notes. Well, one: nicely done.”
What this shows — how Gabe Morales called the 150 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 144 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 ball called strike
Shohei Ohtani vs Ranger Suarez - 2-0.23▲2 · 0-2 ball called strike
Andruw Monasterio vs Will Klein - 3+0.20▼2 · 2-1 strike called ball
Freddie Freeman vs Ranger Suarez
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.
- 1Mookie Betts — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Max Muncy — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
