“A tilt to the evening — the numbers say which way.”
What this shows — how Dexter Kelley called the 123 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 113 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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
4 pitches went to the robots · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Patrick Bailey — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Carter Jensen — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Chase DeLauter — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
