CIN @ TOR
Home plate: Paul Clemons
“You had to throw it down Broadway to get the call.”
What this shows — how Paul Clemons called the 145 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 132 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▼7 · 2-2 ball called strike
Sean Keys vs Connor Phillips - 2+0.19▼1 · 2-0 strike called ball
Brett Bateman vs Rhett Lowder - 3+0.19▼7 · 2-0 strike called ball
Kazuma Okamoto vs Connor Phillips
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.
- 1JJ Bleday — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Alejandro Kirk — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Alejandro Kirk — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4JJ Bleday — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: 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.
