Home plate: Tripp Gibson
“Somebody's pitching staff sent a thank-you note.”
What this shows — how Tripp Gibson called the 199 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 189 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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
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.
- 1Xavier Edwards — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Joe Mack — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Freddy Fermin — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Deyvison De Los Santos — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Freddy Fermin — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
