Home plate: Manny Gonzalez
“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Manny Gonzalez called the 159 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 152 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▲8 · 3-1 strike called ball
Kyle Tucker vs Graham Ashcraft - 2+0.13▲3 · 1-0 strike called ball
Freddie Freeman vs Rhett Lowder - 3-0.13▲9 · 1-0 ball called strike
Hunter Feduccia vs Tejay Antone
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
3 pitches went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Will Banfield — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Sal Stewart — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Hunter Feduccia — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 3 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
