“Tonight's zone had a rooting interest.”
What this shows — how Edwin Moscoso called the 156 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 142 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▲7 · 2-2 strike called ball
Kyle Tucker vs Aaron Ashby - 2-0.39▼7 · 2-2 ball called strike
Luis Lara vs Evan Phillips - 3+0.30▼5 · 3-1 strike called ball
Garrett Mitchell vs Tarik Skubal
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
6 pitches went to the robots · 4 overturned (ump overruled) · 2 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.
- 2William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Will Smith — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 4Will Smith — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 5William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 6William Contreras — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 5 of 6 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
