COL @ WSH
Home plate: Willie Traynor
“Off the corner was close enough tonight.”
What this shows — how Willie Traynor called the 134 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 117 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▼1 · 3-1 ball called strike
CJ Abrams vs Tanner Gordon - 2+0.30▲5 · 3-1 strike called ball
Willi Castro vs Luis Perales - 3-0.21▲8 · 3-0 ball called strike
Willi Castro vs Orlando Ribalta
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 · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Hunter Goodman — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Connor Norby — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
