COL @ WSH
Home plate: Marvin Hudson
“Expanded the plate a touch past its 17 inches.”
What this shows — how Marvin Hudson called the 156 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 139 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

Jake McCarthy vs Andrew Alvarez - 2+0.28▼5 · 1-2 strike called ball
Andrés Chaparro vs Mark Manfredi - 3-0.13▲3 · 1-1 ball called strike
Jordan Beck vs Andrew Alvarez
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
5 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Willi Castro — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Willi Castro — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Brady House — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 5Harry Ford — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
