Home plate: Nick Mahrley
“Borderline went to the battery all night.”
What this shows — how Nick Mahrley called the 151 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 140 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
- 1-0.30▼2 · 3-1 ball called strike
Cody Bellinger vs Nolan McLean - 2+0.13▲7 · 1-1 strike called ball
Carson Benge vs Carlos Rodón - 3-0.10▼7 · 0-1 ball called strike
Aaron Judge vs Jack Weisenburger
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 · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Ben Rice — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Francisco Alvarez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Mark Vientos — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Austin Wells — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 5Austin Wells — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
