BAL @ TB
Home plate: Felix Neon
“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Felix Neon called the 145 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 137 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

Jackson Holliday vs Shane McClanahan - 2+0.10▲5 · 0-1 strike called ball
Jeremiah Jackson vs Tyler Wells - 3+0.10▼6 · 0-1 strike called ball
Ryan Vilade vs Cam Sanders
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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Coby Mayo — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Tyler O'Neill — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Richie Palacios — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Carlos Narváez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 5Nick Fortes — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
