Home plate: Bill Miller
“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Bill Miller called the 141 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 132 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▲1 · 3-2 ball called strike
Starling Marte vs Eric Lauer - 2+0.39▲6 · 2-2 strike called ball
Isaac Collins vs Eric Lauer - 3+0.28▲6 · 1-2 strike called ball
Tyler Tolbert vs Eric Lauer
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 · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Andy Pages — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Salvador Perez — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Hunter Feduccia — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Isaac Collins — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
