ATL @ MIN
Home plate: Carlos Torres
“Generous with the corners — the pitchers said thank you.”
What this shows — how Carlos Torres called the 149 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 138 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▲6 · 2-2 ball called strike
Austin Riley vs Tommy Nance - 2+0.28▲3 · 1-2 strike called ball
Drake Baldwin vs Taj Bradley - 3+0.28▲6 · 1-2 strike called ball
Michael Harris II vs Kody Funderburk
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
4 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Drake Baldwin — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Victor Caratini — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Victor Caratini — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Victor Caratini — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
