DET @ KC
Home plate: Scott Barry
“Solid and unspectacular — exactly what the job asks.”
What this shows — how Scott Barry called the 150 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+0.30▼5 · 3-1 strike called ball
Carter Jensen vs Troy Melton - 2+0.28▼6 · 1-2 strike called ball
Nick Loftin vs Troy Melton - 3+0.13▲3 · 1-1 strike called ball
Gleyber Torres vs Noah Cameron
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 · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Dillon Dingler — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Carter Jensen — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
