ATL @ STL
Home plate: Jeremie Rehak
“The kind of night where the umpire is the least of the story.”
What this shows — how Jeremie Rehak called the 144 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 134 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
- 1-0.20▼8 · 2-1 ball called strike
Jordan Walker vs Danny Young - 2-0.19▼6 · 2-0 ball called strike
JJ Wetherholt vs Didier Fuentes - 3+0.19▲7 · 2-0 strike called ball
Austin Riley vs Ryne Stanek
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 · 3 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Bryan Torres — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Masyn Winn — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 3Drake Baldwin — ump said strike, robot ruled ball: overturned.
- 4Jimmy Crooks — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 1 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
