ATL @ LAD
Home plate: Chris Guccione
“A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix.”
What this shows — how Chris Guccione called the 179 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 167 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

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 · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Mookie Betts — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 2Austin Riley — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 3Will Smith — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Drake Baldwin — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 5Drake Baldwin — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 4 of 5 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
