“Nothing that'll trend, and on this beat that's a compliment.”
What this shows — how Alex Tosi called the 168 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 160 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.
