BOS @ BAL
Home plate: Ramon De Jesus
“An honest evening's grade: nothing loud, nothing missed by much.”
What this shows — how Ramon De Jesus called the 165 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. 156 were right. Below, only the misses are plotted, alongside every challenged pitch.

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.
- 1Nick Sogard — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Samuel Basallo — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Samuel Basallo — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Isiah Kiner-Falefa — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone). Where the two disagree, the umpire is graded on the ABS ruling.
