PHI @ STL
Home plate: Louie Krupa
“The corners were friendlier in one direction tonight.”
What this shows — how Louie Krupa called the 181 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 170 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+0.30▲7 · 3-1 strike called ball
Garrett Stubbs vs Caleb Ferguson - 2+0.30▲7 · 3-1 strike called ball
Bryson Stott vs Caleb Ferguson - 3+0.28▲1 · 1-2 strike called ball
Kyle Schwarber vs Hunter Dobbins
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
5 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Jimmy Crooks — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Garrett Stubbs — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Garrett Stubbs — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Bryan Torres — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 5JJ Wetherholt — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
