TOR @ HOU
Home plate: Gabe Morales
“Both benches went home with nothing to say — the rarest kind of night.”
What this shows — how Gabe Morales called the 125 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 120 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▲4 · 2-2 strike called ball
George Springer vs Hayden Wesneski - 2+0.13▼7 · 1-1 strike called ball
Christian Walker vs Brendon Little - 3-0.10▲9 · 0-1 ball called strike
George Springer vs Enyel De Los Santos
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 · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Alejandro Kirk — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Alejandro Kirk — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Yainer Diaz — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
