The K zone box is not right for LSU

Of course it does

SMH

Idiot it’s the plate not where a guys knees are standing 3 yards behind the plate. Stop talking abiut something that you just let the world know you have ZERO clue about

Braun strike mean the zone is below his knees with the box they had.

Strike zone starts at the bottom of the knee. Any part of the ball crossing in the zone is a strike. So a ball that is low enough to barely have the top of it at the bottom of the knee is a strike. Braun’s pitch was a strike all day. I knew that challenge was lost as zone as he did it.

As someone else mentioned, the ABS starts at 23% of the batters height and stops at 58% of their height. All players had to have their height certified before the tournament.

The zone is a two-dimensional rectangle measuring 19 inches wide, accounting for the width of home plate and the black borders on each side. Vertically, the zone is based on player height. The upper boundary is set at 58% of a hitter’s measured height while the bottom boundary is set at 23%. As such, every player on a team’s roster, including pitchers, must undergo an SEC-administered height certification process before the tournament.

Took LSU fans one whole game to put on the tin foil hat for ABS.

One fringe fan doesn’t equal fans. The HPU did an outstanding job. The ABS system confirmed how well blue called this game.

---

The bottom of the ABS zone is a certain percentage of the players height… I think it was 23%..

---

How does the umpire know where 23% of a players height is located?

The automated strike zone is not 100% correct all the time, either at the SEC tourney or at the MLB or minors or anywhere - as much as folks want or believe it to be.

Better than the human umps - yes - infallible and perfect - no.

There was thread earlier that stated all the rules about the ABS.

If it's like MLB they have each player come in and "model" for their personalized strike zone in different stances and positions in the box and base it off of that. According to Ian Happ in his podcast when he did it they took about 50 poses for them and they took measurements in different poses, etc, with a players height being the baseline - but there are still some variables in play.

I'm sure there is the intent to compensate for that variety and variables - hence taking different poses but there is just no way to lock in 100% with that much variance and potential variance - plus the data is input by humans and there is a margin of error inherent with data input.

You call me an idiot. But you dont understand its high strikes and low strikes.
