Home plate: Chris Segal
“A steady night's work behind the plate.”
What this shows — how Chris Segal called the 106 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 99 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
- 1-0.19▼4 · 2-0 ball called strike
Michael Harris II vs Yoshinobu Yamamoto - 2+0.13▲5 · 1-1 strike called ball
Shohei Ohtani vs Chris Sale - 3-0.13▼5 · 1-0 ball called strike
Mike Yastrzemski vs Yoshinobu Yamamoto
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
1 pitch went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Miguel Rojas — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 1 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
