Home plate: Bill Miller
“A clean sheet behind the plate — the kind of night nobody posts about.”
What this shows — how Bill Miller called the 137 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 133 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+0.10▲4 · 0-1 strike called ball
Jorbit Vivas vs Kumar Rocker - 2+0.09▲2 · 0-0 strike called ball
Jorbit Vivas vs Kumar Rocker - 3+0.09▼7 · 0-0 strike called ball
Cody Freeman vs Will Dion
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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Elias Díaz — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Kumar Rocker — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Keibert Ruiz — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
