Home plate: Ramon De Jesus
“A steady night's work behind the plate.”
What this shows — how Ramon De Jesus called the 134 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 127 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▲9 · 2-2 ball called strike
Michael Conforto vs Joe Musgrove - 2+0.20▼7 · 2-1 strike called ball· challenged
Fernando Tatis Jr. vs Aaron Civale - 3-0.13▼4 · 1-0 ball called strike
Austin Hays vs Matthew Boyd
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.
- 1Carson Kelly — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Austin Hays — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Carson Kelly — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 4Michael Busch — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: 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.
