CIN @ LAD
Home plate: Andy Fletcher
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how Andy Fletcher 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. 130 were right. Below, only the misses are plotted, alongside every challenged pitch.
The zone, as he called it
* Graded on the ABS ruling. ABS measures its own zone, set by the batter’s height and taken at the middle of the plate, and our tracking puts this pitch on the other side of the line.
The calls that moved the game
- 1+0.39▼5 · 2-2 strike called ball· challenged ✓
Freddie Freeman vs Nick Lodolo - 2+0.28▲8 · 1-2 strike called ball· challenged ✓
Sal Stewart vs Edgardo Henriquez - 3-0.20▲2 · 2-1 ball called strike
Eugenio Suárez vs Tarik Skubal
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
6 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Jose Trevino — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Teoscar Hernández — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Mookie Betts — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Jose Trevino — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 5Alex Freeland — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 6Will Smith — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone). Where the two disagree, the umpire is graded on the ABS ruling.
