“Off the corner was close enough tonight.”
What this shows — how Nate Tomlinson called the 180 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 168 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+0.39▼4 · 2-2 strike called ball
Colson Montgomery vs Troy Melton - 2+0.28▼1 · 1-2 strike called ball
Sam Antonacci vs Troy Melton - 3-0.20▼5 · 2-1 ball called strike
Braden Montgomery vs Ty Madden
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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Sam Antonacci — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Kyle Teel — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 3Max Clark — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Gleyber Torres — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 5Gleyber Torres — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 2 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
