Home plate: Will Little
“Corner-to-corner and then some.”
What this shows — how Will Little called the 156 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 146 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

Vinnie Pasquantino vs Zac Gallen - 3-0.13▼1 · 1-1 ball called strike

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
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 Loftin — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2James McCann — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Nick Loftin — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Carter Jensen — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
