Home plate: Manny Gonzalez
“Nothing that'll trend, and on this beat that's a compliment.”
What this shows — how Manny Gonzalez called the 144 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 136 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

Brandon Marsh vs Eddy Yean - 2+0.20▲1 · 2-1 strike called ball
James Wood vs Aaron Nola - 3+0.20▲3 · 2-1 strike called ball
Abimelec Ortiz vs Aaron Nola
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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Garrett Stubbs — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Keibert Ruiz — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Garrett Stubbs — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
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.
