CLE @ DET
Home plate: James Hoye
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how James Hoye called the 151 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 140 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+0.19▼3 · 2-0 strike called ball
Gleyber Torres vs Parker Messick - 2+0.13▼3 · 1-1 strike called ball
Eduardo Valencia vs Parker Messick - 3+0.13▲4 · 1-1 strike called ball
Nathaniel Lowe vs Keider Montero
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 · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Gleyber Torres — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Dillon Dingler — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Patrick Bailey — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
