Home plate: Jansen Visconti
“No notes. Well, one: nicely done.”
What this shows — how Jansen Visconti called the 136 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 131 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+0.20▲4 · 2-1 strike called ball
Edouard Julien vs Kyle Leahy - 2+0.13▼3 · 1-1 strike called ball
Jimmy Crooks vs Ryan Feltner - 3-0.13▲4 · 1-0 ball called strike
TJ Rumfield vs Kyle Leahy
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.
- 1Jimmy Crooks — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Jimmy Crooks — 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.
