STL @ COL
Home plate: Mike Muchlinski
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how Mike Muchlinski called the 142 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. 138 were right. Below, only the misses are plotted, alongside every challenged pitch.

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
5 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Cole Carrigg — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Leo Bernal — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone). Where the two disagree, the umpire is graded on the ABS ruling.
