BAL @ TOR
Home plate: Edwin Moscoso
“The strike zone picked a side, and wasn't shy about it.”
What this shows — how Edwin Moscoso called the 162 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. 150 were right. Below, only the misses are plotted, alongside every challenged pitch.

ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System
5 pitches went to the robots · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Gunnar Henderson — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Alejandro Kirk — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Carlos Narváez — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Alejandro Kirk — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Carlos Narváez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone). Where the two disagree, the umpire is graded on the ABS ruling.
