Home plate: Ramon De Jesus
“The plate grew a few inches after the first pitch.”
What this shows — how Ramon De Jesus called the 158 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 147 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+0.69▼2 · 3-2 strike called ball

CJ Abrams vs AJ Smith-Shawver - 3-0.13▼3 · 1-0 ball called strike
Jorbit Vivas vs AJ Smith-Shawver
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
3 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Harry Ford — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Abimelec Ortiz — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Mauricio Dubón — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
