CIN @ MIL
Home plate: Emil Jimenez
“An honest evening's grade: nothing loud, nothing missed by much.”
What this shows — how Emil Jimenez called the 124 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. 117 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▲7 · 2-2 strike called ball
Eugenio Suárez vs Garrett Stallings - 2+0.13▲4 · 1-1 strike called ball
JJ Bleday vs Dustin May - 3-0.10▼2 · 0-1 ball called strike
Andrew Vaughn vs Andrew Abbott
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
2 pitches went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Tyler Stephenson — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Héctor Rodríguez — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone). Where the two disagree, the umpire is graded on the ABS ruling.
