LAA @ SEA
Home plate: Jansen Visconti
“A pitcher's-nightmare zone — you had to paint it to get it.”
What this shows — how Jansen Visconti called the 162 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 150 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
- 1-0.20▲8 · 2-1 ball called strike
Zach Neto vs Seranthony Domínguez - 2+0.20▲8 · 2-1 strike called ball
Mike Trout vs Seranthony Domínguez - 3+0.19▲4 · 2-0 strike called ball
Wade Meckler vs Michael Rucker
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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 3 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Zach Neto — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Tyler Heineman — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Leo Rivas — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Dominic Canzone — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 5Tyler Heineman — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
