PHI @ BAL
Home plate: Marvin Hudson
“Nothing that'll trend, and on this beat that's a compliment.”
What this shows — how Marvin Hudson called the 174 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 162 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

Kyle Schwarber vs Grant Wolfram - 2+0.39▲2 · 2-2 strike called ball
Brandon Marsh vs Shane Baz - 3+0.39▼3 · 2-2 strike called ball
Jake Rogers vs Cristopher Sánchez
Run impact from the count run-value table: a missed strike three is worth far more than one on 3-0.

- 2Tyler O'Neill — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Jake Rogers — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.

- 5Taylor Ward — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
