LAD @ ATL
Home plate: Tripp Gibson
“An honest evening's grade: nothing loud, nothing missed by much.”
What this shows — how Tripp Gibson called the 145 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 137 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+0.13▼2 · 1-0 strike called ball
Mike Yastrzemski vs Tyler Glasnow - 2-0.13▲6 · 1-0 ball called strike
Freddie Freeman vs Tyler Mahle - 3-0.13▲9 · 1-0 ball called strike
Max Muncy vs Raisel Iglesias
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
2 pitches went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Ozzie Albies — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 2Drake Baldwin — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 2 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
