ATL @ CHC
Home plate: Paul Clemons
“A few too many trips to the challenge cart.”
What this shows — how Paul Clemons called the 158 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. 145 were right. Below, only the misses are plotted, alongside every challenged pitch.

Run impact from the count run-value table: a missed strike three is worth far more than one on 3-0.
