Home plate: Steven Jaschinski
“Expanded the plate a touch past its 17 inches.”
What this shows — how Steven Jaschinski called the 154 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 143 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▲2 · 2-2 ball called strike
Jung Hoo Lee vs Gavin Williams - 2-0.23▲1 · 0-2 ball called strike
Willy Adames vs Gavin Williams - 3-0.23▼8 · 0-2 ball called strike
Patrick Bailey vs JT Brubaker
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 · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Drew Cavanaugh — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Andrew Knizner — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
