Home plate: Emil Jimenez
“The zone showed up, did the job, and went home. Ideal.”
What this shows — how Emil Jimenez called the 134 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 129 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+0.23▲9 · 0-2 strike called ball
William Contreras vs Kyle Hurt - 2+0.20▼1 · 2-1 strike called ball
Shohei Ohtani vs Logan Henderson - 3+0.10▼7 · 0-1 strike called ball
Max Muncy vs Logan Henderson
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.
- 1Ben Rortvedt — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Gary Sánchez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Gary Sánchez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: 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.
