ATL @ NYY
Home plate: Dan Bellino
“One dugout got the friendlier version of the evening.”
What this shows — how Dan Bellino called the 116 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 113 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+0.69▼5 · 3-2 strike called ball
Spencer Jones vs Grant Holmes - 2-0.30▲7 · 3-1 ball called strike
Ronald Acuña Jr. vs Cam Schlittler - 3+0.09▼3 · 0-0 strike called ball
Austin Wells vs Grant Holmes
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 · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Austin Wells — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Matt Olson — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Jazz Chisholm Jr. — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
