STL @ CHC
Home plate: Nate Tomlinson
“Nothing that'll trend, and on this beat that's a compliment.”
What this shows — how Nate Tomlinson called the 183 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 174 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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.
- 1Miguel Amaya — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Michael Conforto — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Pete Crow-Armstrong — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
