BOS @ TOR
Home plate: Willie Traynor
“Nothing that'll trend, and on this beat that's a compliment.”
What this shows — how Willie Traynor called the 137 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.
The zone, as he called it
The calls that moved the game
- 1+0.69▼6 · 3-2 strike called ball
Kazuma Okamoto vs Justin Slaten - 2-0.09▼1 · 0-0 ball called strike
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. vs Ranger Suarez - 3+0.09▼8 · 0-0 strike called ball
Kazuma Okamoto vs Tyron Guerrero
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.

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.
