AZ @ ATL
Home plate: Edwin Jimenez
“Down the middle. Both dugouts had the same zone.”
What this shows — how Edwin Jimenez called the 130 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 122 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
- 1-0.30▲9 · 3-1 ball called strike
Ketel Marte vs Raisel Iglesias - 2+0.28▲8 · 1-2 strike called ball
Gabriel Moreno vs Dylan Lee - 3-0.13▲3 · 1-0 ball called strike
Geraldo Perdomo vs Bryce Elder
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.
- 1James McCann — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2James McCann — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Ildemaro Vargas — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
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.
