Home plate: Edwin Moscoso
“This one went to video review more than most.”
What this shows — how Edwin Moscoso called the 145 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

Jackson Holliday vs Nick Martinez - 3-0.09▼2 · 0-0 ball called strike
Coby Mayo vs Nick Martinez
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
7 pitches went to the robots · 5 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Cedric Mullins — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Liam Hicks — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Liam Hicks — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Jonny DeLuca — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 5Shane Baz — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 6Samuel Basallo — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 7Coby Mayo — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
