TB @ SEA
Home plate: Emil Jimenez
“Corner-to-corner and then some.”
What this shows — how Emil Jimenez called the 140 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 130 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
- 1-0.21▲6 · 3-0 ball called strike
Liam Hicks vs Michael Rucker - 2+0.19▼2 · 2-0 strike called ball
Cal Raleigh vs Cam Booser - 3-0.13▲5 · 1-0 ball called strike
Jonathan Aranda vs George Kirby
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.
- 1Nick Fortes — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Jonathan Aranda — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
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.
