PHI @ WSH
Home plate: Alfonso Márquez
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how Alfonso Márquez called the 167 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 156 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

5 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1J.T. Realmuto — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2José Tena — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3J.T. Realmuto — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Brady House — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Alec Bohm — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
