Home plate: Ryan Additon
“The kind of night where the umpire is the least of the story.”
What this shows — how Ryan Additon called the 169 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 160 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 strike called ball
Ian Happ vs Orlando Ribalta - 2+0.13▼3 · 1-1 strike called ball
Andrés Chaparro vs Shota Imanaga - 3+0.13▲6 · 1-0 strike called ball
Ian Happ vs Orlando Ribalta
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
4 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Harry Ford — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2José Tena — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Harry Ford — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Harry Ford — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
