Home plate: Malachi Moore
“You wanted a strike, you had to earn it twice.”
What this shows — how Malachi Moore called the 194 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 179 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.
The zone, as he called it
The calls that moved the game

Otto Lopez vs Daniel Duarte - 2+0.28▼4 · 1-2 strike called ball
Owen Caissie vs Robert Stock - 3+0.13▲2 · 1-0 strike called ball
Francisco Lindor vs Janson Junk
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 · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Joe Mack — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2A.J. Ewing — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Luis Torrens — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Luis Torrens — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
