Home plate: Chris Guccione
“Solid and unspectacular — exactly what the job asks.”
What this shows — how Chris Guccione called the 141 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 131 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▲8 · 2-2 strike called ball
Wyatt Langford vs Tommy Nance - 2-0.30▼8 · 3-1 ball called strike
Aaron Sabato vs Trevor Williams - 3+0.19▼4 · 2-0 strike called ball
Ryan Jeffers vs Jacob deGrom
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.
- 1Luke Keaschall — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: 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.
