Home plate: Austin Jones
“The grade leaned — the ledger says which way.”
What this shows — how Austin Jones called the 162 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 152 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▼7 · 3-1 ball called strike
Yohandy Morales vs Nate Lavender - 2+0.23▲3 · 0-2 strike called ball· challenged
A.J. Ewing vs Connelly Early - 3-0.21▼1 · 3-0 ball called strike
Dylan Crews vs Jonah Tong
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 · 2 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Keibert Ruiz — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Keibert Ruiz — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Keibert Ruiz — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Francisco Alvarez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
