Home plate: Willie Traynor
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how Willie Traynor called the 122 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone, or, on a pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge, against its ruling. 116 were right. Below, only the misses are plotted, alongside every challenged pitch.

Pedro Ramírez vs Logan Henderson - 2+0.19▲6 · 2-0 strike called ball
Jake Bauers vs Kevin Gausman - 3-0.13▼7 · 1-1 ball called strike
Ian Happ vs Logan Henderson
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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 0 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone). Where the two disagree, the umpire is graded on the ABS ruling.
