Home plate: Ryan Blakney
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how Ryan Blakney called the 140 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 137 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
- 1-0.13▲6 · 1-1 ball called strike
Seiya Suzuki vs Kade Anderson - 2+0.13▼7 · 1-1 strike called ball
Dominic Canzone vs Trent Thornton - 3+0.13▼7 · 1-0 strike called ball
Leo Rivas vs Trent Thornton
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.
- 1Cal Raleigh — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Miguel Amaya — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Cal Raleigh — 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.
