WSH @ ATL
Home plate: Bill Miller
“Reliable as a Tuesday: no complaints, no headlines.”
What this shows — how Bill Miller called the 152 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 146 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
- 1-0.21▲2 · 3-0 ball called strike
Harry Ford vs Bryce Elder - 2+0.13▲4 · 1-1 strike called ball
Harry Ford vs Bryce Elder - 3+0.13▲8 · 1-1 strike called ball
CJ Abrams vs Elieser Hernández
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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Harry Ford — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Harry Ford — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Harry Ford — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Joey Bart — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: 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.
