Home plate: Carlos Torres
“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Carlos Torres called the 114 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 106 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

Brendan Donovan vs Drew Anderson - 3-0.10▲4 · 0-1 ball called strike
Riley Greene vs Bryan Woo
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.
- 1Cal Raleigh — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Josh Naylor — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Eduardo Valencia — 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.
