PHI @ NYM
Home plate: Paul Clemons
“Expanded the plate a touch past its 17 inches.”
What this shows — how Paul Clemons called the 133 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 116 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
- 1-0.28▼2 · 1-2 ball called strike
Bo Bichette vs José Urquidy - 2+0.20▼5 · 2-1 strike called ball
Juan Soto vs José Urquidy - 3-0.10▼4 · 0-1 ball called strike
Marcus Semien vs José Urquidy
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
2 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Kyle Schwarber — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Mark Vientos — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
