CLE @ KC
Home plate: Tom Hanahan
“Called a fair game and let the players decide it.”
What this shows — how Tom Hanahan called the 196 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 187 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+0.30▲1 · 3-1 strike called ball
Steven Kwan vs Noah Cameron - 2+0.30▲8 · 3-1 strike called ball
Steven Kwan vs Lucas Erceg - 3+0.28▼4 · 1-2 strike called ball
John Rave vs Gavin Williams
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
4 pitches went to the robots · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Austin Hedges — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Kyle Isbel — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Maikel Garcia — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Noah Cameron — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
