PHI @ LAA
Home plate: Shane Livensparger
“The corners were friendlier in one direction tonight.”
What this shows — how Shane Livensparger called the 172 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 162 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+0.28▼2 · 1-2 strike called ball
Zach Neto vs Andrew Painter - 2-0.21▼7 · 3-0 ball called strike
Christian Moore vs José Alvarado - 3-0.21▲9 · 3-0 ball called strike
J.T. Realmuto vs Ben Joyce
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 · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Bryce Harper — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Tyler Heineman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Trea Turner — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Tyler Heineman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: 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.
