PHI @ BAL
Home plate: Tripp Gibson
“A clean sheet behind the plate — the kind of night nobody posts about.”
What this shows — how Tripp Gibson called the 120 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 115 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
- 1-0.19▲3 · 2-0 ball called strike
Trea Turner vs Kyle Bradish - 2+0.19▲6 · 2-0 strike called ball
Bryson Stott vs Albert Suárez - 3-0.13▼1 · 1-1 ball called strike
Pete Alonso vs Zack Wheeler
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.
- 1Jake Rogers — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2J.T. Realmuto — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
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.
