“Nothing that'll trend, and on this beat that's a compliment.”
What this shows — how Andy Fletcher called the 144 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 134 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.
