Home plate: James Jean
“Reliable as a Tuesday: no complaints, no headlines.”
What this shows — how James Jean called the 136 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 131 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

Owen Caissie vs Chase Burns - 2-0.09▲1 · 0-0 ball called strike
Xavier Edwards vs Chase Burns - 3-0.09▼2 · 0-0 ball called strike
Eugenio Suárez vs Sandy Alcantara
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
5 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Joe Mack — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Tyler Stephenson — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Joe Mack — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Heriberto Hernández — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Esteury Ruiz — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
