Home plate: Jordan Baker
“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Jordan Baker called the 165 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 155 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+0.39▼7 · 2-2 strike called ball
Angel Genao vs Reiver Sanmartin - 2-0.23▲1 · 0-2 ball called strike
Rafael Devers vs Foster Griffin - 3-0.13▼5 · 1-1 ball called strike
Patrick Bailey vs Trent Harris
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
2 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Trent Harris — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Bryce Eldridge — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
