BOS @ TOR
Home plate: Chris Guccione
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how Chris Guccione called the 146 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▲1 · 3-2 strike called ball
Wilyer Abreu vs Max Scherzer - 2+0.30▲9 · 3-1 strike called ball
Nick Sogard vs Lazaro Estrada - 3+0.23▲2 · 0-2 strike called ball
Andruw Monasterio vs Max Scherzer
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
2 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Brandon Valenzuela — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Brandon Valenzuela — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
