“No notes. Well, one: nicely done.”
What this shows — how David Rackley called the 132 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 128 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
- 1-0.09▲1 · 0-0 ball called strike
Jordan Lawlar vs Kyle Freeland - 2+0.09▲5 · 0-0 strike called ball
Jordan Lawlar vs Zach Agnos - 3-0.09▼7 · 0-0 ball called strike
Kyle Karros vs Michael Soroka
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
1 pitch went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Hunter Goodman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 1 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
