TEX @ ATL
Home plate: Brennan Miller
“Solid and unspectacular — exactly what the job asks.”
What this shows — how Brennan Miller called the 131 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 124 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+0.10▲3 · 0-1 strike called ball
Kyle Higashioka vs Grant Holmes - 2-0.10▲8 · 0-1 ball called strike
Ezequiel Duran vs Dylan Lee - 3+0.09▼4 · 0-0 strike called ball
Austin Riley vs Nathan Eovaldi
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 · 1 overturned (ump overruled) · 1 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Justin Foscue — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
- 2Kyle Higashioka — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: 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.
