LAA @ SEA
Home plate: Dillon Wilson
“The plate grew a few inches after the first pitch.”
What this shows — how Dillon Wilson called the 161 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 145 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
Leo Rivas vs Sammy Peralta - 2+0.21▲6 · 3-0 strike called ball
Zach Neto vs Eduard Bazardo - 3-0.13▼4 · 1-1 ball called strike
J.P. Crawford vs Yusei Kikuchi
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.
- 1Vaughn Grissom — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Jhonny Pereda — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Logan Gilbert — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Jhonny Pereda — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 5Jhonny Pereda — 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.
